Color Screen

I have an 08 evo x but the 10 evo x has a color screen on it. Is it just me or does anyone else think thats not right. And does anyone know if its possible to get the color screen from the 10 to an 08?

been asked before and commented on...

the screen can be replaced from an 08 to a 10 however it is not something dealers are yet doing. Since it has to deal with your odometer, Mitsu stated when the 2010's were first shown that it would be a dealer specific mod and would take some time do to and it was not easy.

Yeah, that's not right. I know someone who baught an '10 Ford Mustang GT with the 315hp 4.6 V8 and now the 2011 has a 5.0 with 414hp. I think Ford should change his engine for the new one[sarcasm].

Speaking of that, yeah, I'd be super pissed if I bought an older Mustang. Lolz at that.

Sort of like the 2008 WRX owners.

Not only that the resale on thos cars is poor due to everyone educated knowing that they were the worst year WRX ever made.

A 2008 combination meter/cluster runs about $550 USD.

I can't imagine the 2010 would be much different.

You will probably need the dealer to "activate" it or at least program the mileage into it...

So probably a $1k experience

*almost* worth it IMHO Not unless you trade the 2008 in for a 2010

Ugh... Well I thought I was crazy paying two grand for the MMCS, so...

No way I'm buying another Mitsu, so no way on the 2010. So color screen mod it is.
