Default RHD owners in US?

Hey guys, I just bought my S2k a few weeks ago. Got it as a bare shell and its almost done already (kinda). It's going to be right hand drive with a handful of nice mods such as carbon hood/trunk, 4 pt cage, works wheels, buddy club coilovers, asm flares, etc and it will be painted champ white. As soon as it's all done i'll build an introduction thread with pictures of the build piece by piece So just out of curiosity, how many RHD S2Ks are in the US?? I know of the yellow one with the blue bay and i believe i saw an orange one somewhere along the line. Just curious, thanks!
BTW here are just a FEW of my build pics

I could never imagine shifting w/ my left hand. It would just feel too weird.

Had a RHD EG6 and my DC2. I am going to leave the S2000 alone as far as converting it. Good luck with your build.

Very cool! I don't think I could ever get used to shifting lefty, but hey, I've never driven a RHD car, so I could be wrong. Definitely different, I like it for the uniqueness.

There is no benefit other than the fact that it's different. I wouldn't do it personally, but the novelty of it would be a sure conversation starter ANY time someone approached it or you for the first time Let the man be different.

I hear people ask this all of the time.. What is the point of modifying your car? you do it to make it appeal to you. You do it to stand out from the other cars you see on the road every day. Why do people that don't track or show their car throw on spoon bumpers or GT wings? Because they look awesome. In my oppinion, converting to RHD is the most absolute unique modification you'll see here in the US. Anybody can put an order in for a Mugen or Spoon part and have it within a month or two. Getting these clips and being able to convert it is hard to do. I'm assuming there's 10 or less in the states? That's what i'm going for, a uniqe, nice, rare and insanely fun car to drive. I like to stand out
