anyone heard or buying anything from them?
I called and talked to Adam about getting a R33.
I talked to him for a while and how his process works on getting one.

EvolutionImports.com and Japimportsusa.com are two known scam sites.
The first sign is that the only address on the website is a PO Box, something anyone can go to the Post Office and get. They list no physical address for you to go to and confirm their business license.
Second, any importer of non-US vehicles must be a Registered Importer (RI) with the NHTSA and DOT. Here's the list of registered importers:
http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/import/web_RI_list07142004.html
There is no RI by the name of Evolution Imports or any RI in Orlando for that matter.
Third, they claim to be able to import JDM Integras, Evos, Suburus, etc. Since they are JDM models, they are RHD. NHTSA has a list of non-US vehicles eligible for importation:
http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/import/ELIG071404.html
If you read that, RHD models are identified on the list. There is only one RHD vehicle on the list as elgible, the Skyline, which Motorex can do. So Evolution Imports is making false claims to import street legal JDM Evos, etc.
Lastly, always check with the Better Business Bureau before dealing with an unknown business, especially on the internet. Here's what comes up when you check on Evolution Imports:
http://www.orlando.bbb.org/nis/newsearch2.asp?ID=1&ComID=0733000012002719
Notice again, no physical address recorded. Also, read under Customer Experience:
Based on BBB files, this company has an unsatisfactory record with the Bureau due to unanswered complaint(s).
This is a dead give away of an internet scam site. If you do give them money, where are you going to go to get it back if they never answer you? Nowhere, since you have no physical address.

yeah he has a couple of them already in FL just for show. If you do buy one in stock as he say then he ship them to Dominican Republic. Have it taken apart and then shipped back into the state as 6 different pieces and then put back together and is given a "Manufacturers Certificate of Origin" in most states this and receipts and your old title will get the car licensed. So IM assuming that its like having a KIT CAR.
(Example) Ohio…You would make an appointment at the Ohio Highway Patrol Inspection station. You would then take your built car, Certificate of Origin, old title, and all receipts to them for inspection. They are looking mainly for stolen parts, documentation, and safety issues with the vehicle. After they pass the vehicle they will issue you papers for a new title.
