-gay lip
-red stitching
-black steering wheel spokes
-se badge
-addition of black as a color option
-different finish on the wheels
basically it... and all those parts will go after a couple o months.lol

The "MR SE" does not have an SE badge on the tunk. Only the SE has that.

And all 2006 Evo IXs have the black steering wheel spokes to my understanding.

I find the SE a huge let down personally. The only positive thing I could think of is that the MR comes in black. Just stating my opinion.

Here is a IX MR SE:













The complaints some of you have about the looks are exaggerated. The front lip is barely a front lip and the red stitching is a modest change.

Pure BullS@#t comments are flying around in here right now. The Se is perfect for those who wanted the BBSs and the hids and fogs without buying an MR. Thats pretty much it. In person, the car clearly looks better than the base model and the lip is really similar to the amuse lip for the S2000(which i loved) but its a lot more subtle. The car is hot and for for 1500 bucks extra, I gotta say its the best bargain out there. Oh, forgot to mention that it was the second lightest Evo trim now. Not that it matters on the street.

Cheers.

I must agree that the IX SE (non MR) is REALLY a good value. You get everything that really matters from the MR in a cheaper and lighter package and you can get it in black.
