I vote ban on nsxter -- never seen him say anything productive.

OP, I think you could find a how-to online that would get you the info faster than asking questions here, unless you have specific questions. Also, you might find more help in the appearance section. RHD conversions are pretty uncommon...

hey, my buddy did one on his legit type R and bought a legit type R conversion... lol... but you need the entire rhd firewall , the actual steering column is usable in the RHD conversion and if you notice almost all purchases of the firewall dont contain the actual steering column, but you need EVERYTHING the dashboard had cause NOTHINg from your usdm dash will swap over, not even the center.

I did my own rhd conversion, alot of time and money, totally worth it. you need to get a rhd clip. you need, dash, wiring, heater core and everything else in it, need the firewall, column, pedal assembly. just everything. also need to know how to weld really good. i went to school for paint body and welding. its not in any way easy and not something that you can do quickly. you will run into wiring problems one after another and need to know how to read wiring schematics and know how to make your own wiring. completely possible to do one your own just gotta stick with it. pm me if you need questions answered

I still got insurance and clean title lol havent got **** from a cop yet. only thing that is different is the vin on the firewall and radiator support but changed the dash vins so its still the same. and cops need permision from the court to look in the hood of any car so **** so far its all good.

I'm pretty sure they can search your car and arrest you if you obstruct during a traffic stop as long as they can demonstrate probable cause after the fact. Besides, it's pretty easy to spot an RHD from outside of the car...

Search of the cabin is different than search under the hood, even though many cops will try and tell people that they can do both legally.

Of course, it is also legal for a cop to tell a lie...
