Anyway, how many shows have you been to? I went to Piedmont maybe 2 years ago and 80% of the show cars had cheap spinners on them. Davin's are expensive. The competition is not.

But it would be pretty interesting to see what companies could do to make this sort of thing cheap.

Re: Right Hand drive legalites
unless you buy a front clip i don't see how a rhd conversion could in anyway be cheap ....you can't compare spinners to rhd....thats a horrible comparison.....lets see you bolt on spinners and lambo doors....you can't just bolt on a rhd conversion

there are no legal issues associated with it. there are no laws preventing it or pertaining to it. it should not keep you from getting your car inspected or registered, and a cop cannot issue you a ticket for it.
left turns suck... alot.
drive thrus suck... alot.
unless you buy the jdm mirrors, your side mirrors suck... alot
converting the wiring sucks
door switches are different or on the wrong side unless you buy jdm door panels and switches
um...
its fun. I don't regret my conversion...

If its not a show car, I personally wouldn't do it. Just me. Maybe I'm turning old in my ability to adapt and change, but I'd find RHD a bit difficult to drive.
