I think it dont really matter what anyone else thinks of your car, it is what u want. The point of doing something to your car is making it ur own and to incorporate urself in the car.

I agree completely... Look at my car... part JDM, part Thai style with a French touch and a dash of racecar... but I love the results!

While going for the JDM look in North America might be a matter of taste (which I have no right to judge) maybe you could look the other way and find some way of importing a genuine JDM Vitz RS in all its RHD glory and doing a LHD conversion.

The parts should be common between the LHD and RHD models just a few trips to the local Toyota dealer to pick up the necessary bits to convert.

JDM through and through (with the exception of the centre dash and the headlights). Could be more complicated than I imagine, though?

That would certainly be feasible, not to mention the absolute JDM fanboy's wet dream!!!

From what I see in photos here compared to my RHD car, there are some subtle differences under the hood, as the brake fluid reservoir, the ECU box, and a few other things are located on the other side, though the engine itself and other main components look to be exactly the same.

Headlights would be another problem, as they would be suited to driving on the wrong side of the road. Apparently getting headlights from Taiwan would be a solution.
