Blue Evo 9 MR?????

Check out this ad on cars.com. I know they didn't make an electric blue evo 9 mr. The blue only came in the gsr model.

Mr only came in Silver, White and Black. This guy painted it, look at the fins in the back of the car they are black....whats up with that....all of our MR fins are same color as the car. I see it has MR emblem on the trunk and center console and has a meter kit which is MR, . See if its got Bilstein shocks, then its MR if not then its not MR. and what a hell he saying "Touring" there was no such thing, lmao.

This is not a MR its a GSR. The roof is always aluminium if its a true MR. Unfortunately this Evo has the steel roof that comes with a GSR. Attention to detail is good though. It has a six speed, SE IX MR seats, BBS wheels, rear badge, floor mats, and SE lip. I would need to see the engine bay to verify if its an 8 or 9.

According to VIN it's originally a TB IX MR with the appearance package which included the SE bits. Car has been wrecked a few times- first accident was a rollover. Have fun with that.

FWIW, the gauges were an option for all Evolutions. I opted for it with my SE.

yes it's the 8 wing. Might also have the 8 headlight although it is very hard to tell from the pics.

I knew either A) it was a blue GSR and someone went through a lot of work to swtich it over to an MR or B) it was an MR originally and it was painted
