Australian HVAC Knobs

I found these in the Evo Threads, and I think these knobs look way cooler than what we got. Anyone know how/where to get these?

It would work they come in the cars in Jamaica as well, but the problem is you would have to get the blower box also because the vents are mechanical in USDM and electrical in JDM and EDM also the connecter would have to be changed and repinned but they are nice and can work.

Those are alot nicer then the ones we have in the states. What I'd really like to know though is where to get the carbon fiber trim kit in the picture.

I might be wrong, but I believe in the thread from which that picture originates it was stated that that piece was custom made/

Thats what I was figuring. I'd love to find a company that made stuff like that for our cars or for the Evo since we have the same trim.

This has been covered 1000x's. Those are the auto climate control knobs that have been on JDM, Euro, and Aussie Evo's since the VII'S.
It would require a complete swap of the HVAC system, not only would it be cost prohibitive its questionable that it would be possible at all due to the fact that the heater box is on the opposite side of the above mentioned cars.

Even the knobs themselves would'nt work due to that fact they are "fly by wire" so to speak. They are electronic, which means they control servos and motors to move the various flaps. There are no cable or pulleys like in the US Evos.

They only system that comes close to that is the one that Rich@orbital makes. Do a search and you will find it.
