Imported a JDM GE8 from Japan (right hand drive - PIC)

1000$ delivery from Osaka to Los Angeles.
Speedometer in kilometers.

It's a 1.5 RS. Ordered for 1974874 JPY (which is about 21,350 US $).

Used this site to complete the order. Used Cars from Japan. Used Cars Exporter

Hope the police wont give me too many problems. Planning to tint the windows to hide the steering wheel.

wha???? you imported a RHD USDM fit for more than what you can get it here?

wheres the jdm front end? skyroof? HID headlamps? LED tails?

imo you should have just got a LHD USDM fit at your local dealer for around $17k.

after all this... im assuming photochop.

Hahaha ! Bingo!
You almost got it.

I used Microsoft Paint, no PhotoChop
Just realized the mirror function could make for a fun joke.

It also doesn't have the turn signals in the mirrors

So much for a warm-up to an upcoming April 1

If he used a picture of my FIT, he would not have the problem with turn signal on the side mirrors but he still could not hide tow hook location. Ha ha ha.

JDM FIT does not have USDM front Sport bumper (as far as I know).

Don't be sad. This thread hasn't changed the facts of life. It's either possible to import it or not, regardless of this thread.

In fact, it's probably more a matter of money.
This was just meant to be a joke.
