I love the idea of RHD conversions. Truth be told, it is a LOT of work. And it will probably take several weeks, maybe even a month or two (of religious work to boot).

I am all about being individual. I really dig having unique things. I want to do an RHD on my car as well, but I probably won't knowing all the work and time that it calls for. I'd like to be the one among my friends with a car looking like it's on a completely different level. That's why I love body kits and things like that. But I am contemplating keeping my car with a stock look (deceivin the fools, ya know?).

Personally I think it would be kind of a fun prank for a couple weeks when you go to take your friends for a ride and say "get in" when you start walking to the passenger side lol. It's all you. If you've got the time, money, desire, and dedication to do a RHD conversion, knock yourself out and have fun with it.

If your in the United States... waste of time and money. It just makes simple task so much more difficult. If your taking a LHD car and plan on using it in a RHD country then yes its worth it.

It's a novelty. It would be neat as a weekend car to have fun with and I think maybe shifting with the left hand would be better since you can steer with the right, and I'm right handed.

If I was going to do a RHD conversion, I'd do it on something random people wouldn't think would be hopped up, like a CRV or a Toyota Pickup or something.

Waste of time and money.

If you really want to go through the time and money. Just buy yourself a real JDM or EDM or whatever car comes with RHD.

Mine as well spend that money for registering that car to legal

I've driven a couple of rhd Jeeps. It's weird but kinda cool. I wouldn't mind having a rhd toy but NOT a daily driver.

i just did it on my integra dc, it has the jdm front on it too

it took about 2 months to finish, its worth the work but its money,time, and you need another car to drive while doing it, all in all probly wouldnt ever do it again but everything on the car has been done by me, my dad(motor build) and friend jason

its a neat lil mod for a weekend cruiser just to turn heads or just regular driving just to say you have a RHD.
my brother totalled his front end so ended up doing a RHD conversion that took him 2 weeks the most to complete. it was fun to drive around.

If you have the money, and would rather do a firewall conversion as opposed to getting the real deal, then more power to you. Your car, your money.

I, myself, like RHD cars just because you rarely see them. But I don't think I'd ever daily a RHD car, just because it would bring too much unwanted attention from the Police.
