It will be registered as a 2012 custom. The guy in Albany is not really that bad. In fact if you play the game his way Tom is a lot of help.

Remember that there are 2 different process happening hear. 1st you have to provide Albany with a lot of paperwork. Get them the numbers they require for their paperwork. They will then want some detailed pictures of the car that show things like reverse lights or light, wipers, sun visors, ect. the things that make it look like all other road legal cars. With that info they will decide on weather or not to send you the paperwork for the actual inspection. Play nice and the first part is a breeze.

The inspection is another ball game. My experience is the inspectors are their to check salvage title cars out not custom cars. If your car has a bunch of doner car parts the inspection might be a little different but a brand new SPF, they dont want to mess with it.

They will refer back to the Albany paperwork, ask some questions, give the car a minor lookover and take care of the paperwork. I have been to annual NYS inspections in new vehicles that were more intrusive.

If Tom Noonon is still the Albany contact he is a very nice guy. He has rules he has to follow though. Remember he is the paperwork guy though. He will only ever see your car in pictures you choose to send him.
