The labor is what's gonna cost you. The RHD clips are usually $300-$800 plus shipping. But the labor for it is gonna be alot. I had a shop quote me at $2k for labor alone, not including parts. I know PW:JDM sells the clips for a decent price, but if you're not in CA, shipping is pretty high. Get some quotes from some shops in your area and then just add that to the price of the RHD clip plus shipping and that will give you a rough estimate of what it is going to cost. I say rough, because that estimate will be if NOTHING goes wrong with your car where they wont need to buy anything else or do anymore labor then needed.

Here's the prices from PW:JDM...

JDM Integra DC 94-01 RHD Dash Conversion

$249.99

And going off your info, stating you live in OK, shipping will be $600. So you're looking at ~$850 shipped. And then added to the price of your quote for labor, will give you your final estimate. GL

man there are TONSSSS of RHD conversion threads in here and in the Appearance Build forum. You might try sending a PM to some of the people who are working on some of these.

Try doing a search for RHD, you'll find tons of results. I was gonna lock this up, but I guess I'll leave it open now.

If you can find a good deal on a RHD teg for under your budget, then get it, if not, the conversion is the next step. Also you might wanna do what Patrick said about PM'ing some folks that have done it. Maybe even find someone in your area that would be willing to do it for less than a shop would charge. Maybe $1k even...which is better than most shops...although I don't know much about prices over in OK, but like as said, here in CA, Fresno to be exact, i was quoted to do my Civic for $2k, not including parts.

RHD with JDM front end cost me $1,700. JDM CTR Steering rack was another $500 and it took me almost 2 years to track one down. Labor anywhere $2500 to $3500.
