Where can I find parts for right hand drive Evo 8!!!

I currently own an Evo 8 GSR RHD and im struggling to find parts for it

The parts im mainly struggling to find are interior parts such as panels, mats, boost gauge panels, etc...

I usually shop at STMTuned or MAPerformance for my parts, but they mainly serve products for left hand drive evos.

Is there any reliable vendor/seller where I could purchase right hand drive evo 8 parts from?

I am looking to replace the fake carbon fibre box with a boost gauge panel or a small headunit so I can play music etc.

If anyone has any link to a website where I can order right hand drive evo 8 parts to canada please let me know!

This is how my dash look as of now, its stock.

You can try this site. Have heard some good reviews from them. They are offshore in Bahrain (IIRC)

I actually never chose the rhd evo 8 over the lhd ones because of pricing, infact I found a LHD one cheaper then I did a RHD one.

I chose the RHD drive one because from my research they have slightly better track performance with the differentials, its a very minimal difference but hey I like track racing so why not.

But you are right tho its so hard for me to find parts for my evo lmao.

It should be just as easy to find RHD parts. The vast majority of the interior is the same as the US cars.

For the gauge panel, you can buy a Defi DIN unit from Japan that has water temp, oil pressure and boost (in BAR). Check Yahoo Auctions.
