Crazy, I would kill to do a IX conversion to my VII and you've gone the other way LOL. Looks like it was done nicely though.

I ended up selling the light bar as well as the off-road lights to get some extra capital to complete the 7 conversion. It was also more of a novelty but still gave my IX an exclusive look.

If I get some it will be the chrome headlights to match the 7. I just have to find some that will connect to my HID harness.

Love it!

Not sure if I could bring myself to backdate my car, but all credit for doing something different. 7's look tough as nails.

The 7 is the cleanest of the CT9A platform. I want a 7 GTA hood! Do you source your parts through UK Ebay?

Still want to know this as I just got my VII bumper from the UK and need to know if I should order an exhaust to fit JDM rear or USDM.

Hi, congrats!

This is the exhaust I have
http://www.lancershop.com/customer/p...p?productid=96

The quick answer is no, it will def not fit, but it will be purely aesthetic. If you have an exhaust similiar to the one posted in that link, it will probably stick out 7-8 inches at least, which to me looks horrible. However, if you know a good fab guy who knows welding its nothing he shouldnt be able to fix. My fab guy basically cut the exhaust down to fit the bumper in addition he also repositioned the exhaust to sit straight and back rather than curve sideways which I prefer and then rewelded everything. My fab guy charged me 150 bucks to do all of the work and it came out perfectly.

Cant get over how nice this car is. Props for being original. Im trying to find a few EVO VII parts or my car also if you hear of any. Im looking for a EVO VII OEM factory under tray or a carbing/beatrush undertray, and a Genuine HKS Kansai front lip for 7.
