There is a fellow in the integra boards, though I cant remember his name, He bought a RHD ITR clip and welded it onto his USDM teggy. He has 3 threads so far covering the action.

I bet if you ran a search in the apearance board for Integra Part RHD etc you could find it.

Its definatly very hard and costly to have someone else do.

whats up.

I wouldnt do it for RHD. someone tried to jack my car by burning the plastic right above my driver side rim to get to the cord of the hood latch. when my alarm went off, they ran off, but the part they melted eventually started a fire.

the fire wall forward on my 2k EK was on fire. I just thought I might be able to do a whole front swap to save my baby.

4 years of blood, sweat and tears with money down the drain, not completely since I had insurance on it, but regardless, I still love that car.

I think they are not based in the U.S. but they have good price for front clips.

I think I saw a 98 EK4 front clip for 3200 shipped.

How much was the shipping and to what country? Also if in the U.S. what kind of EPA conversion you had to do or met?

http://www.nippon-motors.com used to sell front clips. I'd check with them. http://www.jdmshit.com might have clip as-well.

Some guy on HT cut his frame and welded the RHD on. It was a huge topic, I'm sure you'd be able to search for it. It seemed more people here were against going that route though.

Yea, it's safer to just swap firewalls, and then move all the RHD parts (rack, lines, etc...) over. Maintains structual integrity.
