I don't believe it gets "Grandfathered in." Even the guy that bought my Bavaria had to go through a bunch of hoops to get this Federalized Sticker on the Bav (a Bav that never left CA), but only for one year when I moved to ID. That was never the case before (getting the Federalized Sticker).
I'm waiting for someone on here from CA that has tried to register a CSI in the last two years or so, there has to be somebody with current first hand knowledge on this site.
And I'm talking about going through the CA DMV, not having to set up a Montana LLC and not already in the CA DMV system (coming from overseas or out of state). Even if previously registered in CA, but then re-registered out of state, bringing it back in I think will still be a problem, but even a bigger problem than the Bavaria because of the "grey market" status of the CSI.
@teahead, you may call your CSI a "turd" but hey, it is still Fjord.
