Default Is this real??????

so im cruising ebay looking for a new project and this pops up, it looks real and is clean as hell but why does it have a US vin number? notice the "EH2" in the vin? and there is no jdm blue vin tag that says eg6. everything else looks clean and its a nice car so if the owner is on here Im not flaming or anything. just asking if its a real RHD car or a conversion.

doesn't seem like a fake to me. Not sure if they changed the VIN once the car got registered in the states (not familiar with how that works)

the probably took the vin off a wrecked usdm car so they could register it. when u get tags for you car, the CA DMV doesnt (usually) even look at it.

looks real enough to me... it has the holes where the japanese vin tag would go on both the bumper support and the firewall.

Have someone carfax the vin...

why does the rear wing not have the long LED light and why do the tail lights have both reflectors?

its import jdm but when you have it over here you got to register it and i guess to make it easier for dmv and for the VIN system i guess they changed it...maybe that or its just conversion
