i doubt they allow it in the US but youd have to convert emission to the US standard which they dont have for the US. youd have to us a regular civic ones. then you might have to do the collision test which you would need like 6 of them =[

basically there is a $10000 inspection involved. once it is inspected you will probably have to replace the glass, the emissions system, and the bumpers to meet u.s. standards. i would recommend getting the u.s. integra type r. it will only cost about $25000 and is already street legal and has the exact same engine.
