That must be imported or buy from someone that did. Most dealer are not gonna pay for RA import maybe EVO LHD if someone want to special order. Im sure if you got the money things can be arranged.

"JDM" that word watered down from all the fakers & exploiters.
Most of the time overrated.

But I wouldnt mind LHD RA from Japan or Europe.

Is there a difference between them at all besides where they come from? I feel more comfortable that mine is from Japan.
