ALL Evo IX owners.....
I have a 06 Evo IX and I noticed something different.... MY spark plug cover reads mitsubishi rather than just having the mitsu star.....

The only place the car has been for work was AMS, and there a great bunch of guys, so I know no one would have changed it out?

Any one else have the old cover also or is this just mine?

You the original owner? Was it the IX cover before going to AMS?

dealer could have pulled the switcharoo on you or maybe AMS switched it with another evo by mistake

like someone else said before its an evo 8 cover...to be honest I think it was an honest mistake or if it came from the dealer it was probably simply preference by whoever switched it.
