If it was that easy, true JDM vehicles would be more common. Best thing to do is find someone who's done it and talk to them. They may not help you though. At least not for free.

You're in California, the easiest thing to do would be find an import shop and pay them to find the car and legalize it. Expect to pay around $20,000.

Of all of my friends with Actual imported cars, I don't know of any that are registered legitimately.

Yes, WhiteOnRice is right (as usual). The best thing to do is to find someone who has the resources to do so. Try contacting user, jeremy., he imported a JDM Milano Red ITR not too long ago here in SoCal. Maybe he can lend you a hand or two.

Seeing that you're new, you won't be able to PM users yet for a certain amount of days.

You have a long way to go, young padawan. A very long way.

There is a big difference in been Imported legitimately and being REGISTERED legitimately. Like with a legit VIN number and title.

Can't spend $20,000? Then you aren't getting a legit ep3-r.

But prove me wrong.
