I want the evoluzione dash board

So it took me forever to find the web site for K-1 since I did not remeber it was called K-1. I finaly found it only to find out they don't sell the kit anymore. I love the look of the entire kit, I am not one to like ***** cars but I think this just looks mean. I would only do the kit when I still have a nice thirdgen. But I really want the dash board. I don't like the styling of the dash board in the thirdgens for they look really behind the times. My freinds have coined it the Decapitator. Does anyone know where to find the dash at all or another nice dash that would fit?

I own an evo and the dash is a pain. It doesn't fit well and sure it looks good but is not the best choice. I have thought may times about switching to the 4th gen dash in the evo. The passanger side s horrable. I had to move the mounting of the seat just to be able to get in and out of the car due to hitting my nees and My wife hated trying to get in. The forth gen dash has the same shape and look except for the console part.

Just go with the forth gen and you will end up in the long run much happier.

Well how hard is it to put the 4th gen in, it can't be a direct bolt. If you ever would switch to the 4th gen and want to cell yours let me know. I don't have a wife and don't really care if people hit there knees. lol So you have an evo kit, man that is awsome. Do you have pics anywhere?

I'm sure the evo dash isn't a direct bolt-in either. I plan on installing a full 98-02 T/A interior in my car by spring... I'm just waiting for a donor to pop up somewhere.

The evo dash is not a direct bolt in and has a lot of cutting and modifying that needs done. The evo dash will take a lot of work to make it look good. If your picky like I am then you will not be happy with the final look unless you have a good bit of money to pay someone to wrap it in leather or something.

If you go with the evo dash good luck finding one because these parts are really hard to find.
