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. --------------------  |

Because they haven't been built to conform to US DOT laws.
IE: Headlight alignment. Just ask anyone who has bought JDM projectors. They should be adjusted for LHD use as to not blind oncoming drivers. -------------------- ~bloodMoney
