Do you know how Motorex got busted? DOT people are 'Car People' too...and they happen to read Car Magazines. After seeing a slew of Moterex'ed Skylines in articles, somebody noticed they didn't have side markers on them (even though the petition to bring them in stated they added them). BUSTED.

If it were so easy, you could easily open a dealership and sell a bunch of Skylines, yet skyline importers come and go, and very few illegal skylines actually make it here.

Another question...with sky-kits.com. How long till it delivered? I mean the picture is taken in Japan...the car has to be dis-assembled, shipped, and re-assembled. Do you feel comfortable buyng a $20k picture?
