you would have spent $500.........you already have an MR

Yes, I meant to say thousands lost on a trade in. And if I sell privately, no one will pay what I would ask for my car when they are going for what they are at South Coast in Cali. I am happy with my car either way!

Ohhh, little NACA duct on the splitter that goes to who know what if anything. That's nice, well worth the money.
If I were getting a IX I would get the SE stuff just for the hell of it. I do like the color of the SE wheels better than the MR ones and the lip isn't bad. I don't really care about the 6 speed or the bilstein's.

HID, Alum roof, BBS, Lip, Red Stichings for 2k more is fair. The first 2-3 is what I really want on my stock regular IX. Those are easily over 2k if I want to get those (prob not even possible for the roof). Crappy 300-600 dollar HID kits 
Alum roof
However I wouldn't buy the SE and would rather get a MR.

I saved myself time and $500 bucks by not waiting for this car.

Silver, keep your newbish comments to yourself.
A reg MR that "looks good" and a SE MR that "looks unique", they don't even look different enough for you to say one looks bad compared to the other. You can prefer one, or not like the additions, but to call one ugly, and one not. Is just absurd.

I agree, the red stitching looks like something 50 Cent would do if he had an Evo. This is disgusting. And I'm being completely honest, it's NASTY. Also, I went to "build and price" for the Evo on their site, and it appears you can add the front airdam extensions already to your purchase, even if it's not SE. The SE just includes some already available options, minus the 50 Cent Recaro seats and an SE label. You guys have seen the Outlander SE, it's a gimmick.
Also, you'd think they would have made the Recaro emblem Red as well. Instead of placing it with red stiching. `` Dats Taight, Dawg. ``
