I just love the flared look of the widebody panels, that's about it.
I could swear reading somewhere that there is/was a kit available to make a narrow body a widebody.
I've taken a look on the starquest forums, cars for $400US higher and lower, with all the panels and wheels. Equates to roughly $750 australian + shipping & customs...that's where it'd sting. I'd still be interested as to roughly how much it'd cost. If the car is just a rolling shell, would it make all that much difference?

One australian company charges around $2700 - $2900 to import.

Cost of sourcing widebody front & rear panels?

then you have all the customs fees and charges which will cost about $1800-2000. Plus the actual LHD->RHD conversion... might as well import a complete RHD car from Japan. Will cost the same and you wont have to do any work. Save time effort and money.

Laws in Victoria dont allow for LHD unless its over 4.5 tonnes or 30years old.
:(
Still I would find it be weird driving an LHD car.
