GT-S is a 90 model from japan. The rear pannel is a special edition replacement also only available in the japanese market. Gold badges, no idea probably aftermarket.

The gold badges look legit to me.

Must be JDM or trying to appear JDM - steering wheel is on the wrong side

QuadCamSix · 09-06-2006, 06:59 PM

Those billboards in the back certainly look JDM LOL

love the yellow all-trac. now if only i could make it legal.

i have seen that red special edition panel b4 on ebay. i thought it was just some wierd factory option light.

The Trueno is not a bad looking little car... That Mitsubishi off-road truck is pretty cool. I wouldn't mind driving around in that. Perhaps the only Mitsubishi that, if I owned, I wouldn't call "Zero". I would call it Peggy instead!

Practically the only way you can make a JDM car legal here is by swapping VIN plates, and some people dont feel like going to prison over a car.

You have obviously never heard of North Carolina. Registering a "JDM" car is a simple transaction at the tag office RHD and all

Shweet. Doesn't it have to be federalized though? Or is that little nicety overlooked? I suppose once it's in the states and registered, it's in for good. I guess. It's stupid but I want that ridiculous Mitsubishi monstrosity. It's so ugly it's cool!

What's up with the two different exhaust tips? That's ghetto ...

I see quite a few skylines (older models) running the streets here in Tennessee.
They have plates on them, and inspections stickers.

I assume they are JDM, the steering wheel is on passenger side.
