If you want it just for the RHD then just get a EG shell on the cheap and do the RHD conversion. Nice and legal.

wow is it that hard to comphrehend what a VIN swap is?

here.. take a torch and cut out the vin numbers, and glue em onto the other car.

there ya go, but goto jail for 10 years, pay a 100k fine after being caught oh so worth it for a Honda Civic
