It's extremely simple: you just cough up $350 to the DMV, and
you'll be cooking with gas (in a manner of speaking ..).
Of course, they don't make you actually *fix* anything for
the $350: it's just a fee so that you can go on (supposedly)
polluting. (Grrrr - so much for being conscientous).
And no, you can't buy anything, even from the manufacturer, that
will make your car comply -- even if there's literally nothing
different about your car from a CA car.
When I "imported" my brand-new '92 Accord from New York, I called
American Honda about this matter. In summary, they said,
"Tough : you gotta pay!"

PS: If your car is in good condition, you may get a better price
for it here than you will on the East Coast, should you decide
to sell it.
