my dad had spent a good amount of time researching just that a couple years back and from what he found, its damn near impossible. At the very least it would be a Gray Market car but i think he found it was much more trouble than its worth. just my 2 cents.

Let alone the time needed to do it. There's no real 'market' for this, unlike what grey importers used to do, and still are doing, in UK, for instance, for "popular" vehicles like the Mitsu Evo or the last gen Nissan GT-R.
