Interchangeable parts with evo 7

I need a new LH headlight, fender, mirror mount and sideskirt for my jdm evo 7. I live in Canada and parts in japan are very expensive to buy and ship over. I know i will need a jdm headlight but can it be from any JDM ct9a evo? For the rest of my needed parts can i get from USDM evo 8/9? Thanks

Headlights are interchangeable across all CT9A's.
There is a difference between the beam direction from RHD cars and LHD.

So to answer your question you can swap between any ct9a that is RHD. Is quite common for in AUS for evo 7 owners to swap to 8MR or 9 headlights.

There's actually some people that change there 7 to the whole evo 9 kit (front to back). It all bolts straight on.

CT9A = Evo 7/8/9

Every exterior part is interchangeable between them.

Sad to see the car in that condition. As mentioned above, everything fits but you will need the RHD headlight, apparently. Good luck getting her all fixed!

**EDIT: hey, guys.. does that mean, to swap to a VII front, I'd just need the hood and bumper cover? I really like the VII front and have always wanted to swap. Weird, I know.

Yea you can swap a VII front bumper and hood to any Evo 8/9. I believe there are multiple threads posted showing the conversions.

Headlight/fender is common across CT9A
Hood/bumper is what set all the generation apart
The only EVO VII specific part is the front bumper/hood
