p.s. why does everyone consider that rice? so your saying the majority of european rhd vehicles are rice if you consider this one rice? it's just what you're considering doesn't add up.
LOL if you buy it rhd stock - it's just it, rhd stock. If you buy it lhd and convert it to rhd being in lhd country for a sake of having JDM-like - this is stupid IMO and qualifies for rice
why does everyone consider stuff like this JDM, it's just converting it to right side drive from left side, so jdm like stuff is rice in your book (just wondering)

i personally like the thought of a rhd conversion and see no rice in it. it takes time, work, and effort. but really, i dont think id ever do it to my daily driver cause when i drove my dad's jeep, i was running off the road and couldnt judge how far i was from the center. it was just weird.

In my book there is no such term as rice LOL Try to look up a loooong thread from last year about it, I told there why I don't like the word. I guess I shouldn't use this word here, too - but the question kind of required it
To re-phrase this: I do like pure JDM stuff and wish we could buy type-R here, and I don't like fake jdm-LIKE stuff, especially when it compromises safety.... European (read British) vehicles in Britain are just fine, they are genuine rhd naturally in their natural habitat...

i agree, but does your dad want to sell his rhd cherokee? i would love to have one. i see them for sale every now and then i just think it would be fun to have both parked in my drive way and drive whichever i please.

if it's rhd, then it's jdm or european, there's no "jdm-like" parts for a rhd conversion in a civic (not that i'm aware of that is), and shouldn't compromise safety unless improperly converted, or driver shouldn't be driving in first place.

Man, I'm not in the mood to argue. If you don't understand what I'm saying, I'm blaming this on my bad English and calling it a day

No, we're saying that being an RHD nutswinger is rice..

So you can drive it without complaining? No one is complaining, we're just saying it's not practical for a DD in the states. At all, ever, end of story
