Meh, the JDM non-Type Rs have four circle front ends, so it wouldn't be all that great a mod.

the car was brought in but is it legal? Just because the car has a US counterpart does not mean that the car is legal to drive on the streets. I hope everything goes well for ya, and it is a very nice looking car. I would just hate for it to get hacked in two. I know that I can bring in a JDM car for my business but in order to do it I have to sign a contract saying that in 4-6 months the shell gets destroyed. But perhaps these guys found a loop hole.

Word, Jake...word.

There's a shit-ton of misinformation in this thread. Buyer beware when importing these cars. Research using government information to figure out why these cars can't be 100% US legal.

I wish your friend the best of luck and massive congrats. Hopefully it's not just a "VIN Swapped" chassis.

yes, it is 100% road legal in all 50 states. It shares the same structure as a usdm integra and the engine passed inspection.
