My new 2006 Evo MR
Hello everyone im new the forum. my name is John. I just picked up a gray 2006 evo MR.

I'm loving this car so far. although its an entirely different car then my mustang. its my new project

Nice car. MR SE's are pretty uncommon. Welcome.
Apparently I have a gsr with an appearance package as well. Mitsu is dumb for putting an se badge on my car. Lol.
On a serious note, I wonder what it was called on the sticker. Either way the op's car is pretty nice.

Let it slide! No different than people calling the non-RS and non-MR VIIIs and IXs "GSRs."
Anyway, OP -- where do you live (though we see the license plate), but also what company were you with for insurance? Unless you got a felony DUI or something, a $180 monthly increase is ridiculous.

Wow! we didn't even make it past the first page without the first argument breaking out ... Come on guys play nice... You're gonna scare him awayAnyway, congrats man! Looks like a nice ride! I was a little confused by your sentance about getting a tune and then boost control. Just a small tip, if you plan on modding and you're going to pay someone else to tune it, have all of your mods (boost controller, intake, exhaust, etc.) installed all at once and then have it tuned. That way you're not paying for a retune every time you install a new part.
AP (MR) - Lip, seats, wheels (no SE badge) - $500
On a serious note, I wonder what it was called on the sticker.
Just in case all this is too complicated and confusing, here's the official press release from Mitsubishi. It was located in a thread an inch below this one that discussed the differences between the models ad nauseum:
Mitsubishi Motors North America (MMNA) is applying the "Special Edition"; treatment to its critically acclaimed ninth-generation Lancer Evolution. The 2006 Lancer Evolution SE offers special features at a competitive price of $33,249 MSRP to make this legendary performance vehicle even more thrilling. The new SE trim level represents the final enhancement to a Lancer Evolution body style that has been on sale in the U.S. market since 2003.
Inside the Special Edition trim level, supportive, red-stitched RECARO(R) seats accentuate the interior while the exterior receives a new front airdam extension that adds style while reducing front end lift. A lightweight aluminum roof panel, also found on the Lancer Evolution RS and MR, helps control body roll by lowering the vehicle's center of gravity. The feather weight 17"; forged BBS(R) alloy wheels, now in a new "Diamond Black"; finish, add style while reducing unsprung weight to improve suspension performance. The SE trim level also includes high-intensity discharge (HID) headlights with halogen fog lamps giving the vehicle a distinctive look. The available exterior color choices for the Lancer Evolution SE are Apex Silver, Graphite Gray and Tarmac Black.
True to the Lancer Evolution's heritage, the SE is powered by a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder DOHC intercooled-turbocharged engine with Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing and Electronic Control (MIVEC) that is mated to a rugged 5-speed transmission.
The revised airdam, Recaro(R) seats with red stitching, and forged BBS(R) wheels with "Diamond Black"; finish are available on the MR trim level as well in the form of an Appearance Package which sells for $500.00.
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc., (MMNA) is responsible for all manufacturing, finance, sales, marketing, research and development operations of the Mitsubishi Motors Corporation in the United States. Mitsubishi Motors sells coupes, convertibles, sedans and sport utility vehicles through a network of approximately 540 dealers.

OP, this should answer your question, as well.
