There are a few options...most discussed already in threads. I will save you rifling through old threads.

If your car needs a cover and it's gonna be in the garage..buy a BUDGE size 3 from Walmart. It's $19.95 and fits even evos with wings. Even better fit since you have an RS

If you are a stickler for OEM you can get the OEM cover from here:

https://www.mitsubishiparts.com/prod...roducts_id/229

That's made for the wing, not sure how that effects RS fitment.

Lastly you can go custom...about the same cost as an OEM cover, except you can usually pick the color, and if you want the fabric to be outdoor friendly.

Walmart has 3 different BUDGE-brand covers..I used the cheapest (the Lite, $19.95) because my car is just sitting in the garage for the winter. The other two options (I think they were called Premier and Max) are ~$20-30 more and are better suited for outside. -Gabe

I purchased a cover from the dealer, more expensive but easier to handle (lighter).

You can also try Mach V for two different types..I think they have one for like $160, and another one for $300. Stocker fits great, but is paper thin(okay for indoors)but if you want something for bump and dent protection try a google search on car covers and have at it...you find what you need!
