ahhhhhhhhh I would advise against it, only because with that amount of money, you could be doing other things, like building the motor, etc. Plus the looks your going to get from cops won't be too fun either, nor the harassment from them. The labor + the front clip you need to get is going to cost A LOT. I think some people have tried this and it's taken them years, some threads have ppl just plain giving up, but I guess cuz they were doing it themselves =/ Good luck anyway.

Why spend all that money to sit on the other side and shift with the other hand? IMO its not unique or cool it is just a waste of time and money... 3k can go a long way towards building a good motor...

Would you like to substantiate why it is the best mod ever? There is no tangible benefit except you have to sit on the opposite side of the car. Cars in the US are left hand drive for a reason.

People can do whatever they want to their cars. A lot of people have attempted RHD conversions and given up and some that have successfully completed it say they would never do it again... Before you undertake any major project like this you should really know how much time effort and money is required... IMO there are just better things to spend your money on...

its the best mod ever because you see 1000's of LHD cars with all the same mods + colors( DOHC ENGINE,TURBO, LIP KIT, ROTA RIMS) seeing a RHD car is by far the best mod for a car because its different, and theres not 1000's of the exact same color RHD cars.

Different is one thing, spending a ton of money to make your car more difficult to drive while not increasing performance just seems pointless. If you want to be different you shouldn't buy a civic...
