if the cars are already in customs and now you're asking this, then i'm sorry, you're not getting the cars through

the cars you paid for are either going to be sent back to japan and you'll have to pay for the shipping fee, or they will be crushed and you will be out of money

should have done your research before you attempted it

but if you're looking for a RHD shell, check out n1concepts in south san francisco

Neither of the cars have US legal door bars or core supports, so they do not meet US crash regulations. That's what's wrong with them.

i dunno what the laws are in the states, but in Canada you can only import a JDM car if its 15 years or older. After 15 years none of the safety laws apply any more (specifically side crash is usually the main problem.

call the DMV and ask them what all is needed to register your car in your state.

and they won't tell you everything

there's alot more to need rather than windshield, crash supports, emissions, crash regulations, crash testing, etc.

it already sounds like you're stuck, you're not gonna get the car over unless you pay someone who knows what to do and is willing to help you
