Evo 9 AC panel swap on Evo 8

Is it possible to swap the AC panel from the Evo 9 into an Evo 8??
I just like the look of the Evo 9 panel better
Has anyone done it before?

Anything is possible.

What does your instrument panel look like though, and which instrument panel are you trying to swap to? Being that you're in Turkey, you may have a different spec, or be referring to the JDM spec... which would be much different.

Much more. That's the JDM Evo climate control system. I believe there was a post floating around with someone detailing the trials and tribulations of the install.

Standby...

Would probably be a good place to start. Though I must admit... I haven't read through much of it. But that chap would certainly know more than I on the matter.

Yeah... it's the JDM/EUDM so it comes in both LHD and RHD. You may have easier access to parts than the fellow in that thread though. It may be worth hooking up with him to see what snags he's hit?

We have no access to those parts here in the states. Our panels are the same on the 8's and the 9's.
