why not just do the front-end conversion?when the whole JDM fad is over,you'll be stuck with a mod that's not reversible,unless you clip it again.i'm sure you'll get props from all the JDM whores at shows,but you basically just spent a lot of time and money to sit on the wrong side of the car.
do you have any welding and/or bodyshop type experience?

I will answer this because Mike is a good friend of mine. He builds his cars to the JDM theme. His last hatch he sold was a boosted ls with new paint, and a bunch of jdm parts. He paints his own car and does all the body work. I got pics of the integra when my other buddy had it. Now that Mike has it, the jdm front end is sitting in the garage Mike and his friends are very capable of the RHD conversion. There is already a eg hatch running around with the RHD in this area. Its something different, has the parts for it, its what he likes and the car I know like the last one will be sick .

Oh Mike if you haven't heard I got another 99 coupe just like my old one in the garage right now getting a built swap in it Then I am going to sell it

the only viable reasoning i see in a RHD vehicle is delivering mail.


i dont forsee having a yellow strobe on it and hopping curbs, so i take it that is not the use for it, eh?
