Non USDM Center console for EVO8

Do you guys notice that the UKDM Evo got the ugly AC control panel and leave out a big hole in the bottom (supposed to put on gauges), wheras the UKDM/JDM one got the AC console at the bottom (better looking) and you can fit a 2-din stereo Deck on the center console. anyone did this mod or know where to buy the AC module?

HVAC Auto Climate

This has been posted quite a few times already, the AC in the lower Din slot is Auto climate, yes we wish the USDM came with it but it doesn't, I guess they are trying to get rid of old evo 7 Moldings or something, anyway, all the UK / Jap spec cars have the Auto Climate, Straight 8, MR, even the 9 looks like it will come with it, from the few pics I have seen of the 9 interior. Whether the US will get it we won't know until the 9 arrives here.
Apparently the auto climate is Electronically controlled, where as the USDM 8's are controlled by cables (manual) and to update to auto climate, apparently is a right pain in the ****, especially just getting hold of the parts.
Enter in a search "HVAC auto Climate" and see what it pulls up.

my suggestion is to have someone make you sometihing to hold the stock "ugly" knobs on the bottom and then just order a new center consol piece from japan
