Someone will get a perm ban 
It looks just the same as a regular one without the wing, nice usually lighter electric window controls and radio.
People that will get one will probably rip out the stock seats and extra plastic too, put roll bar etc.
They save $2500 which is great.
I still think this car should have come with steelies and save some more on the expensive Enkei rims.
Hope we can all benefit and get the front LSD off of this car!

excerpt from the press release:
November 4, 2003 -- Cypress, CA. -- For 2004, Lancer Evolution buyers may opt for leather front Recaro(R) seats, and they may opt for a 315-watt Infinity(R) sound system, complete with subwoofer. A limited number of brave souls may also opt for the latest trim level, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution RS.
If the lightweight, turbocharged, all-wheel-drive Lancer Evolution was not the right car for you, then the Lancer Evolution RS is even less right. But for racing purists, compact car tuners and hard-core driving enthusiasts, the best bang-for-the-buck sports sedan just got better. Thanks to numerous weight-saving measures, the Lancer Evolution RS tips the scales nearly 150 pounds lighter than the Lancer Evolution. Its featherweight status notwithstanding, the RS has also been blessed with quicker reflexes: a front helical-type limited slip differential and a rear crossbar help to improve the handling of one of the world's best-handling automobiles.
So that says 150, my contacts say closer to 185, which is why I've stated that. The difference will be clarified as soon as I hear back from them again. Sometimes OEMs will estimate the weight of a full tank of fuel and tack that onto or off of the curb weight. Marketing tactics.
