Where to buy "JDM-Bro!" RHD Japanese Imports?

Anyone know of any sites and/or companies that offer imported vehicles for sale in the US? Google searches yield some pretty sketchy results.

I'm looking for more sites/places like this:

http://www.japaneseclassicsllc.com/

Is there a forum/club for true imports?

I'm stumped

Yeah there are a couple sites like that ... they seem a little jank :P

I'd rather buy one pre-imported with zero hassles.

Get in contact with a guy named Sean Morris.

If you're willing to do it the proper way, I'm sure he can help you.

There's a company in Ashland, VA that imports front/rear clips (and sometimes whole cars). I forget the name of it, though, but I'm sure a google search of "USA JDM importers" would yield at least a couple results.

A pre-imported car without a bond release will come with tons of hassles.
Thanks!

I'm looking for something that's already beyond 25 year mark at this point. Just wondered if anyone knew of sites they scanned occasionally. I know there are options for browsing imported JPN cars, but many of them look pretty untrustworthy and/or would require a lot of importation work on my part (which I'm not necessarily comfortable with / ready for).

Ideally I'm looking for somewhere that sells pre-imported road legal vehicles. Every once in a while one will pop up on ebay too.
