    I know for a fact that for the X, the MR has a higher risk designation so coverages are a little different value-wise. Say your car gets stolen, your "MR" GSR will actually net you a higher appraised value than what you really had. It actually plays to your favor.
    yeah that's what i figured, i was just wondering if it would cause any confusion when or if i choose to sell my car since people like to ask for VIN's and check out the history before buying. oh well. thanks for the offer i'll keep it in mind.

    I have a 2008 Evo X MR, my vin shows GSR... My wife works in insurance and she puts the vin in the system and it comes up as a GSR... She contacted a rep at Mitsu to see what they would say because of the whole coverage thing... they told her that when in production a certain amount of bodies are made and than the vins are put on the bodies... depending on the order, mitsu will put MR tranny and extras in a Vin'd GSR body if at the time they dont have any MR vins available at time of order.. the same goes for the GSR in a MR vin'd body....

    I am not sure if this applies but I know when I try to book out a car by vin, all evo's show as GSR and I will have to change it to the MR option for an accurate value. I am not too sure why this happens.
