There are some important things to consider beforehand and it is essential that the job is done correctly to ensure the vehicle is safe to drive.

Converting a car from left to right hand drive is a specialized job and a large number of components will need moving, changing or adjusting. Obvious parts such as foot controls and the steering wheel is going to be moved as well as stalk switches. Some work is going to be required underneath to the brakes, springs and sometimes exhausts to make certain the vehicle can be operated safely.

A cost effective way to modify your vehicle is to buy the parts in a conversion kit and do the work at home. Many kits are offered for sale which are tailor made for the Dodge Challenger and it is essential that you select the correct one. After fitting the kit you should be mindful that many of the metal levers, springs and other parts will be left exposed and the finished results are not always great.

A good place to find and buy your kit is one of the web based auto parts suppliers that are trading. After browsing the site and selecting a suitable kit, it will be sent to your home along with fitting diagrams and tech support links. Some of the work will need specialist tools and garage equipment and your supplier will advise you on the other items that may be required.

The preferred way for most owners to get a car converted is to use an engineering company. There are a lot of specialized companies that do these modifications and their results are very good. This option is going to cost you more than if you do the work yourself but all of the work is going to be done by professionals and it will be guaranteed.

When you use the services of a professional company, the results are going to be far superior to a kit modification. The new parts that are fitted, and the existing ones moved, will be done so that they are hidden away and the car will look as if it were made that way.

After having your car modified, it is important that you have all paperwork to confirm that it is safe to drive. A professional conversion company will issue these documents when you collect your vehicle and these should be kept safe. When you have done the job using a kit, the car will need to be inspected by a technician, before the paperwork can be issued.

A couple of things should be considered after modifying your car. If the car is under a Dodge warranty, it will no longer be valid, and the future value of the car may be reduced. The company that insures your car will also need to be told about the changes and you may be required to pay a higher premium.
