honestly looks like a GSR with swapped MR parts. Call a local dealership with the VIN # and have them check it for you. Thats what I would do.

USDM MRs were different than JDM.

Errrr well seeing as the 05 grey evos were all MR's i'm guessing that is a legit MR with a 5 speed swap.

Things to check:

Roof:
Take a magnet and see if it sticks to the roof of the car...MR's should have aluminum roof's and obviously a magnet will not stick
Also the Roof of an Mr has these raised air guides where as the gsr does not.

interior:

interior should have CF pieces to it and the floor mats should say mr

Under the car:
also under the car you should see small MR brake cooling guides



*edit
doesn't look like an MR to me but then again its not USDM so what do I know.
call the dealer and have the vin checked

it has the correct roof so my guess is that it is an MR with a 5-speed swap

FWIW, those were optional on all Evos. I have them on my SE.

Doesn't look like an MR to me. No vortex generator, Headlights and tail lights are chrome instead of black. I can't get a good look at the roof, but use a magnet like someone else said. Or just have a dealership verify the VIN.
