the one you're seeing that replaces the headunit is for the STi. the ones for the EVO just replace the plastic panel below the airbags.

If you look at his location it's Australia so I'm guessing he has the RHD version. So no

I wonder if you could just flip this upside down if it would still fit? The piece looks symetrical but it probably depends on the mounts.

can u bump something and then tell us? LOL..j/p

i think that's prolly true...but i can't seeing the airbag not damaging your gauges/gauge panel though. Insurance definitely wont pay for that o_O

I love the design n idea, and if someone did make a LHD version, I think a lot of ppl would buy it regardless, it would just suck though if your airbags went off, just sayin...

Haha I really don't wanna find that out that way! But yeh when the airbags do go off the gauges are toast.

I've wondered the same thing but they probably won't fit.

No its not symetrical so it wouldn't work. Plus it only has tabs at the bottom for the screws.

if you hit something to make your airbags come out you have more important things to worry about than gauges

That looks insane. I'd buy one if they made it LHD.

Looks nice! Hopefully by the time I get my Evo someone will have one made that's for LHD.

Why not just drill 3 holes in the existing one and fill em up with gauges? I was thinking of mounting the evoscan GPS there but I too am concerned about the airbags. I really don't want to shut the airbag off and I don't want my passenger to die or get seriously injured because of me.

Kind of a little too far away to be of any real use to the driver IMO.
