MR Conversion: Badging, Shift knob, etc

Have an '05 Evo 8. Did the Rexspeed vortex generator over the weekend n it looks great!

So I decided to take the MR conversion one step closer:

Im looking for the silver USDM Lancer Evolution MR badging, and possibly a 5 speed silver (MR Looking) shift knob. Any recommendations? I havent decided if I'm doing the BBS wheels or the voltage meters yet. Also, what about the MR label in the center console? Any help appreciated, thanks!

uMMMM.....why? Why spend all this effort to make it a MR...er well "look" like an MR. Not really seeing the point.

Kinda like when people used to try and "make" Type-R's.....will never make sense to me i suppose.

How about you get yourself a GTR badge and call it a day? Seriously don't do it.

^^ well now ive heard it all. long and the short of it is your VIN is not that of an MR. besides you can never have the full MR conversion without adding at least 2 vtecs.
im done here. best of luck with your conversion. btw badge.sticker.. same difference.

lol, you should change your name to "flamer4life" Its cheaper to do the conversion than to go try and find and buy an MR. Quit being such a sarcastic deuschebag n either gimmie some help or dont post

Better start looking for a 6-speed then. There should be a few around since a lot of guys (like me) that have an MR (a real one) swap the 6-speed out for the 5-speed. C'mon, you had to expect to get crap out of this. It is kind of ricey, after all.

DUDE...ITS NOT A CIVIC!!! You shouldn't be ashamed of driving a GSR or RS or whatever you have, i mean come on its a fuggin Evo. The MR isnt all that anyways, so why waste your time trying to make it LOOK like one when you can spend that money on like a 3065 or something? I personally know 8 people with MR's, that i like hang out with, so whats going to be so special about yours? Do you wanna be the guy that everyone laughs at but you never realize it? If you want and MR that bad go find one. and how you say its cheaper than buying an MR i have no idea...let me know how much you are getting a 6spd tranny for along with the BBS, Bilsteins, roof and all the other goodies, cuz I would like to laugh a little bit more today...

all the help you need, minus my sarcasm. again, have fun with your "MR"

and you cant use the 6speed shift knob on the 5 speed due to the reverse lockout ring.
