I looked into doing this with an Evo 6 (my personal favorite) and after seeing that it would cost me as much as a done, together, running, titled, licensed, completely legal, painted Evo 9...I went and bought a 9.

The best of luck to you, this will be a difficult process.

I installed a driver side EVO IX SSL Leather Seat

I modified and cut the two front seat brackets only, the rear brackets are bolton.

Now I need your help to find the SSL Leather Passenger seat for my car.

You should just do the exterior and interior then paint and make it look sweet. Great daily driver then go crazy with motor/drivetrain in the future.

ding, ding, ding

I actually owned a VI and IV with every intent on "importing" back to the states but didn't want to deal with all the headache, hassle, or money to do this when I could have a perfectly legal 8/9 that will be faster and easier to get parts for.

kudos to the OP and may the force be with you.

Now I need to get a hold of a Dent Removal Guy to fix the passenger side fender.

Installed the OEM EVO V Side Skirts.

What about fitment?.....

Well since it's OEM fitment is perfect! No modifications or sanding. I just made about 6 holes on the side of the car to hold the clips and the side skirts in place.

I used some self tapping screws and washers underneath the side skirts to make it more durable.
