Honda Integra Type R (4-door) DB8
Uncertain / partial Dates not verified. Check build plate
We think the start matches the DC2, but we haven't verified it, so no date is shown. Every DB8 is past 25 years if its production ended by 2001 like the DC2, but check the build plate.
NHTSA: the 25-year period "runs from the date of the vehicle's manufacture" (49 U.S.C. 30112(b)(9); 49 CFR 591.5(i)). Most plates show month/year only; we treat a build month as fully clear from the last day of that month 25 years later. Go by the build plate.
FAQ
Is the DB8 eligible under the 25-year rule right now?
Status as of 2026-10-19: Dates not verified. Check build plate. The 25-year period runs from the manufacture date, not the model year. A car built late in the production run may still be waiting.
Does EPA also apply to a DB8 import?
Yes. EPA's Form 3520-1 Code E covers vehicles at least 21 years old (calendar year of manufacture subtracted from year of importation) in original unmodified configuration. DOT and EPA are separate tests; you need both.
How much does it cost to import a Honda Integra Type R (4-door)?
Costs vary by auction price, shipping and duty. Use our DB8 landed-cost calculator for an editable estimate. Typical overhead beyond the car is often a few thousand dollars (see our import-cost guide).
