ok from what i gather, converting a vehicle to conform with DOt it would need the following, headlights, speedometer, mirrors,3rd tail light, side bars in doors, seatbelt chimes.
most these parts can easily be taken from the US version and swaped over at the RI's Shop, which if you find a RI that will work with you you maybe able to cut costs there, stuff that would have to be new would be EPA stuff like US cats O2 sensor, carbon canister, EPA testing is what i would worry about. other then that cost to make vehicle conform looks to avg around 6-7g , you might beable to cut those costs down a little.
but you have to have a RI import it for you in the first place.
swift would it be possible to export it to canada then buy it back, import it through a RI and then get it conformed and legalized?alot of hassle and money but maybe worth it to get to drive it on the roads maybe even sell it off legalized to get back to even.
