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.

I read a HUGE write up on a company in California that were importing R33's legally. Then they got busted for importing R34s and registering them as R33s and R32s. I think because of them thats one of the main reason cars are hard to import legally. I know there are still long ways around it like buying from Canada and all that. Or doing the kit car and saying you made it yourself as a replica, but that will still take forever to do. And i think in my own opinion that by the time you imported one legit and paid customs and all that to get it registered you could have just converted the GT to AWD and just slapped on the GT4 front end and a nice paintjob. Wouldnt be quite the same but it would still look and preform about the same.
