We drove through El Salvador and all the countries that theoretically do not allow RHD inc Bolivia, Chile etc without problem. Have you actually been stopped at the frontier or by the police in Costa Rica for driving a RHD?
As Tony says, it may effect you but I would suggest everything is fluid and if you get turned away at a border one day, come back the next at a different time or go to a different border if possible. We spent a year in C America and now in S America. We have been stopped countless times in countries where RHD is not permitted but the local police do not bother with this, or know about the law. I would say it is about your confidence and smile in most situations. Dont let it slow you down.
