Once again though its my opinion and it really comes down to what you want out of your car.
The car will be my daily driver, and I won't really be racing. I was almost convinced on getting a leather GSR but I saw this 05 MR in graphite grey and I was in love.

Yes sometimes (usually) it comes down to the all mighty dollar in the end. In my case though I'm not the person who is going to settle. Sure it may hurt the wallet a little, but in the long run its nice to know you got exactly what you want. Right?

I'm not saying you wont slide around. I'm just saying I havent pushed the limits enough to notice thats all.

Another reason I decided on the Sun, Sound & Leather Package is because I was getting a Tarmac Black Evo. IMO it just didnt look that great w/ blue cloth interior. Maybe if I had decided on a Electric Blue Evo it would have been different.

My wife told me if I was buying a $30000 car, it better have sunroof and leather.

and no, you don't slide around in the leather recaros. they hold me snug. my rear passengers slide around a little during sharp corners though.

I'm not sure why they seperated the two so much, the MR and the GSR, the GSR I think should have the same exact colors as the MR and the MR should be able to get any features the GSR can. Not unless there is a real good reason on why it cant. Yes maybe its MITSUBISHI RACING, but what does it matter, if someone wants leather in thier MR why should mitsu care? it's not their problem and its just more money for them.

I'm thinking about Electric blue or Black if I get a GSR, then Graphite Grey with MR.
Only problem is the Mitsu dealer around here blows and they only have 1 Yellow GSR to show me it seems like. So I dont know how i'd be able to compare the EB, Black, and GG.

There's got to be somewhere near you in FL that can show you more than 1 color of EVO. If not its time to come to Cali. In Huntington Beach where I got my EVO they had every color they make as well as the leather in nearly each color. I was able to compare nearly every combination to know that Black on Black was the choice for me. Hopefully you find somewhere out there that is similar, or else it's like trying to decide wether or not to date the ugly girl, cuz she's the only girl in town.

Oh another thing is, I HATE THE MR RIMS!
I'm planning on getting new rims but it'd be more of a rush if I got the MR cuz I hate them.

Yes. I agree. The BBS rims just dont work with the EVO. I'm a fan of the much cleaner 5 & 6 Spoke designs.

Leather looks better, but what does it look like after 1 year of hot weather and
rubbing? I guess it depends upon the quality of the leather itself. I have had
German cars and the leather holds up great after 3 years. I have had a Honda and the leather cracked after 1 year. It has to be the really thick leather
