well that's why this is in the newbie section cuz he can't find anything.

but anyway, i think once you first modding, it's kinda just down to the 6speed and the roof.

The MR isnt worht it to me. Everything except for the tranny can be added later instead of financing the extra $4500 for five years just to be cool.

So you would have only bought an MR "just to be cool"?

The MR definately does have its perks over the other models. Aluminum roof (also on the RS, I know), HID stock, suspension components, lighter wheels and the 6-sp tranny are nice features to have. I've been debating over the IX and the MR for the past few days, and I think the MR is going to be trim level for me, since I will be leaving it stock for a while.

The MR definately has more than just a "cool" factor.

One of my friends got an MR too, but right away said "I want to get wheels and coilovers". So he basically paid all that extra money and is gonna negate half of what you get for it right away.

Only reason i was considering the RS is because i want an evo without the wing to avoid johnny law. Just wondering about performance wise and hearing rumors ppl with RS putting in the 6 speed tranny? BTW i have an 03 TB GSR so no more GSR
