Since I live in Chula Vista, I might be able to help a little. Last April I bought a 2007 Chevy HHR LT2 that had been registered it's whole life in Tennessee. The original owner was a US Marine, getting out and he had the smog test completed on the base for me and I was lucky the car was a "50 state" car. None of that applies to you but the next part does; I used a local license/registration company since I was doing some day time teaching as well as night classes so I did not want to have to deal with DMV. The young lady was amazingly beautiful and I figured she could get what ever she wanted at the DMV and I was correct as they transferred the handy caped plates from my F350 to the HHR. It did take a couple days, no big deal and their cost was $25.00 which was in addition to the title transfer, etc fees. I would suggest trying the same so you do not have to worry about dealing with a DMV lady like the one in the GEICO commercial! If interested, you can email me at oldracer at att.net.
