Yes, exactly. I imagine it will be a difference of about 2 feet at eye-level, and there is really only one part of my daily drive that it will even matter -- and that is if I really, truly need to make an illegal pass on a frontage road. laugh

Short-term it will add to the "Britishness" of the vehicle; also why it will be in BRG. Mid-term I cannot imagine selling the thing, so I don't mind resale value in that timeframe.

And some years from now, it will be "the only RHD, US-certified, Generation 1 M3W" in the estate sale.

So I am good with all of that.

However, I must be careful not to break any of the RHD-specific parts, as those are likely to be *even harder* to obtain than other parts.
