Do you have everyting you need to get it back to normal? Since 7 parts aren't just sitting on shelves here in the US I've come to know alot of other guys that have tried or have done partial 7 conversions. so I may know where to get some stuff if you need it.

What was needed for the conversion was:
Front Bumper -Done
Fenders
Hood -Done
Rear Bumper -Done
Side skirts -Done
Removing the flares off the quarter panel -Done
Taillights -Done
almost there

I'd love to figure out how many are really in states but its almost impossible to figure out cause you really never know what people have and whats hidden away in garages.
I feel bad not posting pics of mine yet, but i'm sure i'll have something to show once the nice weather comes around again and few more parts are installed.
For everyone who has shared, thanks. I hope to see some more.

Why wouldn't a VII valve cover fit a VIII/IX?

yea, the clip for the LHD Throttle cable on a US 8/9 screws to the front of the valve cover, and RHD 7 dosnt need it.
I'm not 100% on if 4-8 valve covers woudl fit on the 9 MIVEC head... Some reason I thought they were diffrent...

I could have swore it had something to do with the pvc valve some rubber stopper of sometype that needed to be added to make it fit and work properly with evo 8. Man i forget that why i was so turned off by getting one but i see you have one what did you do you get yours to fit your evo 8. I think japanparts.com sells them for 250+shipping
