if it were cheap, everyone would be doing it, and you're not military deployed overseas.

just go to autozone and get "jdm" accessories like everyone else.

Put this into www.google.com

how to import a car from japan

Next setp it to read and then read somemore. Also look at national highway traffic safety administrations web site to get even more information.

Aside from the issues with customs you have to make sure that you can trust the person on the other end that is selling the cars.

Have fun......

No way dude forreal? I never even thought of that ur genius. Like I said wanting to see if anybody here has done it recently and knows the process done my research. Anybody that's done this will be able to tell on how difficult customs was.

It sucks, it cost ALOT of money, and is a PAIN in the ass in which you have to deal with the DMV.
