Well i might b able to get most of this through a part out... hey if its an MR minus the 6 speed, i can live with that. Oh and i thought the 05 base already had an aluminum roof?
nope no aluminum roof, forgot about that. and how can you live without the 6speed thats the major difference, if that 6speed suits you

1. That Supra was NOT cool. It was hideous.

2. Only the MR and the RS have the aluminum roof.

How about you do an RS conversion and start ripping parts OFF of your car. Then you can sell the parts and make money, instead of wasting it.

JJsEvo8, your pretty funny. You in no way see how funny it is to other people (especially people like me who actually own an MR) that you are trying to make your car something that it isnt. A GSR, or even an RS the same as an MR not even close, bottom line is if they were "all the same" then why would they name them in different trims? Granted they do have some similarities but they dont all perform the same as you seem to believe. Common sense buddy.

You want people to think "Wow, he has an MR" when you drive around just because you have the badging, thats pretty lame. Just wait until you do it and someone catches you coming out of a building to your car and asks to check it out and they call you out on it you'll feel like a total tool.

Well now that I had to throw my .02 cents in because of your insulting attempt to mimic an MR I will try to help you rice out your evo.

Go to www.lancershop.com, they should have the badging you are looking for.

Happy ricing

How many of us who have a real MR have the factory badging anymore anyway? Any EVO for that matter. USDM badging sucks.

Well said, this "How about you do an RS conversion and start ripping parts OFF of your car. Then you can sell the parts and make money, instead of wasting it" would make more sense.

ok im gonna be honest here for a sec.

there is nothing wrong with getting the VG and putting it on, nothing wrong with getting the BBS or bilsteins or whatever, but when you are trying to make a mock MR, that just ghey....

I have an VIII GSR and I bought the BBS MR wheels and am planning on upgrading my struts to the bilsteins (90k will do that to ya) and I also plan on getting a VG, but they are more like "assessories" than anything. man when you start talking about re-badging it to something it isnt, thats too much.
For instance I hated my stock enkei wheels, and wanted a dark wheel to go with the TB...well I ended up getting the BBS for a straight trade...

Enjoy what your car for what it is, not what you wished you had bought

Honestly I still do and the only reason I do is because I'm too damn lazy to take it off.

So apparently there is some huge difference between an MR and a base 8. Check this out:

Again, Im doing it for styling. Afterall, that IS the only big difference between an 8 and an MR.... well except for the price tag. Who's the tool now?

not to get off topic from flaming this kid, but doesnt the SE have the aluminum roof as well? correct me if Im wrong, just curious as I thought it did.

yes the USDM bading sucks (although the new evo x badge is pure secks compared to the VIII and IX)

the RS idea is much much better...

and the supra sucked major yettie *****....as well as the whole movie. but i will still go see the 4th homo-erotic installment of this "series" just because im a shmuck and will keep hoping that one day they get it right....

Motor Trend hasn't been a reputable source for anything for years. Keep reading your magazines. Look in the back and you can get a great deal on the TURBONATOR! "Supercharge any car for $69.95!"

Yes, the SE has an aluminum roof, but he has a VIII, there was no SE. But, I guess that is irrelevant at this point...
