Much blood loss getting that stupid plug in? - my hands are still scarred from it two weeks later...!

Yeah a bit I took the drivers kick panel out because of the service manuals image and mention about removing airbag (baloney).But found the best access was to remove the head unit, and the right hand side headunit support bracket and access was easier. Still not sure how different it will be with the AC. If you end up doing the vrx pedals your going to make a small cut in the rubber backing otherwise getting them on the frame won't work

Haha I must have gotten lucky then. I emailed him about a week ago and he replied within an hour with a quote.
I paid a smidge of $420 for them, which is a bit more than I would have liked to have spent but, they're good quality and made to fit so meh..

Hmm his price must have gone up based on what I read on old threads, I really like that they have built in demisters. So handy on a winters morning.

Evo x one, was lucky enough to find a private wreck here, glad you like it.

Jordan did you work out why that didn't work for you, I thought your car would be new enough for it?

Nah not sure, enabled the mirrors in ETACS, all the wiring was there. Not sure why they didn't work though.

This puzzles me because with the ecu changes this should be compatible with your ecu. But no such luck, I think even older evos had these. At least the xfactor ones have nothing to do with etacs so should be sweet are you installing them or Unis?
