HOW TO IMPORT A JDM CAR with Stacked! Exports, Inc. [Part 1]

I know it's been a while since I uploaded a video.
I've been crazy busy taking care of my 2 year-old daughter, renovating the garage, and also having this NDA from Morimoto on the unreleased V2 headlights currently on the car has made it difficult to post anything that shows the headlights.
Anyhow, here is PART 1 of the JDM car import process.
I've learned quite a bit along the way.
It is WAY less complicated than I had imagined.
I regret not getting into importing cars sooner.
Hope you guys enjoy the video. It's not as 'exciting' as other videos since the car isn't here to do crazy drives and modifications, but be patient with me and we'll build a crazy DC2 soon enough.

Very informative video and sick find! Can't wait to follow the progress!

[@Divineautowerx]

very excited for part 2! will be subscribing to follow the process:)

[@MrGrentch]

Nice one! 😃👍👍 Looks like you got a really good example. I agree 100% on the low mileage examples tending to have more rust and likely more problems because of lack of use.

[@phothrottle]

Congrats! Pretty sick purchase buying from Japan is always exciting.

[@Kodawari.FK8]

It really is! Probably the first of many.

[@yokosoctr]

Congrats man! As someone who also just got a Imported GC8 WRX. Getting a nice clean car is a must. Im gonna look into using Stacked next time, as the information they provided in there inspection is truly exceptional. Enjoy the DC2 though :D Cant wait to see where you take it.

[@asimoFL5]

Congratulations 🔥🔥🔥

[@DxGODZxP]

Do they live bid at auction like yahoo before time runs out? To make sure you get the vehicle ?

[@Mobe1283]

What’s the import broker process?

[@Kodawari.FK8]

Video is 90%ready on that part. Be out soon. Probably tomorrow
