no worries bro.
believe me that was the first question running through my head. i will not pay something which is not as claimed until i have all the evidence and proof.
as you know, the red lining Recaros, gear console and the emblem are all changeable, therefore the only point i shall look at is the model no.
after doing some intense study and searching through websites and forums, these are a few points i can share.
there only a few MR for 2005 Evo Ix model. For 2006 model after june or august, the mitsubishi produced only 2 models. Evo IX GSR MR and Evo IX RS MR. they are a few last unit before it stopped production to give way to Evo X.
if you do a search in lancerregister, the model no for SJGFZ is Evo IX GSR for 2005 model. and SNDFZ is the MR version. and i almost canceled by booking since i felt cheated by the dealer because of the model no. i do found that the rims are not BBS as what MR should be. I did some searching and email mitsubishi japan and ask dealer to reconfirm with Japan, the model number is the same but for 2006 model, as i said, 2 models area available, MR GSR and MR RS. Mine is MR GSR

the rims also not BBS but mitshubishi enkei rims.
the most important and easist thing to look out is the front hood, roof and boot. They are made of Aluminium for light weight. we can hear the different of sound by "jentik" it. yeah hood and boot can change but the roof?
there a few arguements regarding the roof design. Some says only MR will have the "fin" like on it while some says all evo IX have the fin shapped. But i do search and PM members in evolutionm and lancerregister, they said only MR roof will have the fin shapped or tanduk on it.
hmmm i think these are what i have remembered at this moment of what i have been searching before buying my Evo.
please correct me if i am wrong since this information are only based on my searching through forums and internets and emails to a few parties.
