Audi Kit Car Question

I;m new here, and I've been playing around with how to get the B5 RS4 that I have always wanted, since the B5 RS4 never came to the US.  But since I live in California, the Air Resource Board likes to rain on the parade.  I wanted to keep it as legal as possible, so I thought that if I got my hands on an S4 did the wide body conversion, built up the engine, which are both twin turbo V6's (the S4 had 250hp and the RS4 had 385hp), new interior, cluster, headlights, and all.  

I'm wondering if any one has any idea if this could work this way. Below is what California says when it comes to registering a kit car, or specially constructed vehicle.  

Registration Requirements for Home-Made, Specially Constructed, or Kit Vehicles
A "home-made, specially constructed, or kit vehicle" is a vehicle that is built for private use, not for resale, and is not constructed by a licensed manufacturer or remanufacturer. These vehicles may be built from a kit, new or used parts, a combination of new and used parts, or a vehicle reported for dismantling (junked) that, when reconstructed, does not resemble the original make of the vehicle that was dismantled.

A specially constructed vehicle (SPCNS) does not include a vehicle that has been repaired or restored to its original design by replacing parts or a vehicle modified from its original design.

Example: A Volkswagen "Beetle" with modified fenders, engine compartment lid, and front end, but still recognizable as a Volkswagen is not considered a specially constructed vehicle.

NOTE: The registration requirements for kit commercial vehicles are the same as for specially constructed vehicles.


Thanks everyone!
