Uh, Guys? (And Girls) - Easy GT-Four Registration Stateside, Why didn't we see this before? Options

[Espo]

So my buddy, who's been telling me my planned 3s swap is a waste (since I have an ST and won't be trusting myself with doing the work) just found out you can register a GT-Four stateside with no limitations. Now the only problem might be getting a whole one through customs and not a clip...but we do know about custom vehicle registration, right?

Since I live in New York, I found this: http://www.nydmv.state.ny.us/homemade.htm

But...there are no kit car registration limitations, no...well really anything except lots of fees and waiting on inspections.

Seriously, this is plausible to do, isn't it? Why aren't more of us doing it? Considering a GT-Four used is probably cheaper than a swap any day.

Motorex(or something like that) was importing skylines into America, and then making them meet emissions and safety standards. For some reason they got into legal troubles, someone should look into it more. I believe that the skylines were actually legal, but twice the cost of what the car is worth.

VIN swapping is a FELONY

I don't know that you will be able to pull off the wholekit car thing because of what Yarik said.

I have spent many hours thinking about how to pull it off and I have come up with a couple ideas I won't share, but I will say having my smog license helps:) I would love to see somebody have a GT-4 LEGALLY pull it off, they would be my hero!
