For the love of god. Been covered about once a month for the past 2-3 years.

Basically you'd spend about 3-4 times what the car is worth getting it converted. DOT glass, getting a spare one crash tested. Then you'd have to get insurance on a grey market car. Have fun there. All for some 18 year old to go wow a RHD car.

Your best best to own a RHD car for a reasonable price is to import an old classic Mini. They are exempt from emissions because of their age.

Go to Mexico, buy one and drive it home. Get a Mexican address. With the enonomy there, you could get a family to let you use their address for $20/month. Seems like alot of hassle for an average car. Here is an idea... Buy a Contour 1995-2000 or a 2003 Mazda6. There you have it. Oh, and why in God's name would anyone in the US want a RHD car? Our roads are set up for LHD cars. It would be un-fun to drive.

You can only do that temporarily for up to a year, then you have to export or destroy the car. Customs is really strict about that kind of stuff.

The Euro Mondy isn't worth it, get a Mazda 6. Which will underpin the Mondy eventually.
