find an RX7 shell talk to gringo grande he has one for sale , weld the vin numbers from that shell onto your car and replace the vin on the dash . then look in the shady parts of town for an inspector that you can slip some money to .
or if the vin doesn't have any issues with it *IE its registerable * just register it . you can replace the vin on the dash very easily the firewall one is the pain .

I'm pretty sure VIN fraud is a felony or something...
Anyway, you should have done the research. It can't be done legally unless you chop the car in half or it's an LHD car.

In all seriousness I would probably talk to Paul, hes got so many imported and registered that its crazy. I dont know how he does it but he manages to get them all state and federally legal and also is able to get full coverage on them. I dont have his number but you might recognize him..

In my state, technically, you've just conspired to commit a Class IV felony. Which is itself a Class I misdemeanor. Please shut-up.
I could see this thread being locked or pulled.

I'm also looking into getting my RX7 from Japan to the States. What I have read is that you can ship LHD's from other countries with no problem but RHD has to have a letter from the manufacture stating that the RHD is the same as the LHD in safety and have crash test results to prove it. By the way how did you get your car shipped and how much have you spent so far?
