Default JDM Firewall swap?

I want to get some opinions on a firewall swap, since i have pretty much every jdm exterior part, and she is almost ready for paint. I was thinking about doing a jdm firewall swap.

I would like to know the pro's and con's regarding this swap and any locations I could have this done in socal.

I appreicate your time and comments.

I thought the firewalls were the same?

It looks like all of the holes are there for the brake booster/mc on the passenger side. I may be wrong though

Search RHD, archived, specific to the CRX Forum I just pulled two pages up.

so the OP is talking about a whole front end swap including firewall like Zaakro did in his thread? I was just having trouble wrapping my head around a "firewall-swap" guess I didn't know the terminology

Well no matter what he is still going to have to do what Zaakro did if he is really going to change the firewall from LHD to RHD drive. It is going to require cutting spot welds/welds and pulling all out then putting RHD firewall in. The hard part comes with the motor mounts from what I have read the rear RHD motor mounts gives lots of people problems.
