Thanks for the comments everyone!

I just added a few from my first S2000 tuning shop experience today. Hopefully next I can visit Spoon or ASM.

After returning the car to stock for shipment and the inspection process, I shipped all my USA purchased aftermarket parts with our house hold items. Once the car was legal I put all the parts back on. It may also be funny that I am probably the only one in country with a AEM v2 intake or GP fab rear diffuser. I will probably accumulate more JDM stuff with time. I did pick up a nearly brand new Spoon N1 for $300 from Up Garage. That was my first purchase here.

I had to purchase JDM AP1 lights in order to pass inspection. The USDM light pattern is opposite and the inspectors weren't going to let it go.
He said right here.

I read that, he said the pattern wasn't the same. When i look at the pics of JDM AP2's and US one's they look the same, like I see no difference. I'm just looking into it to hard lol. I use to do car importing mainly Yotas and Nissan's so I'm into all the converting stuff lol.

Not the pattern in the lights, the alignment of the light pattern given off by the lights. Since in Japan you drive on the opposite side of the road, using USDM lights would blind oncoming traffic (have you not noticed that the light cutoff on the HID's is much higher on the right side than the left?). So to be legal to drive in Japan, he had to switch headlights so that the light pattern (high cutoff on the left, not right) was correct.
