There's a lot more to making it fed legal than just registering the car. It's still grey market until you have the bond release, certification from the EPA and documents/stickers proving it, NHTSA certification, and all done through an RI (federally registered importer) or be an RI yourself. If it's not 25 years or older, there's a 9.9/10 chance it's grey market. This isn't a bash to the OP either, in Florida it's just much easier to get away with grey-market cars (and most other things ), usually there's no hassle. But everyone's read the horror stories of federal investigations and the govt crushing cars, so there's always the risk.
