I'm researching Evo RS vs IX and have the following questions/issues to
resolve:

Aside from the lack of radio, power windows/locks and decent color
choices are there any catches
in Evo RS? I feel little incentive to shell out over 2 grand I don't
have for the stuff I don't want in Evo IX. What's a good price for a
monotone paint job in the US?

How do the seats feel? Do they heat up when the car was left in
scorching sunlight for a while?
Does the 5 sp shifter feels any better than the 5 sp shifter in Impreza
RS/WRX ?
What's the good price for reupholstering two front seats with cloth?

I checked out 6sp in MR at the local auto show and it was fantastic, on
part with that in STi
but there was no RS to check out the 5sp version.

Can RS be had without the huge wing?

Do you scrape any parts underbody when you go over rain gutters,
parking lot entrances, etc?
(What's the ground clearance for MY06?)

Thanks for answering any of these!
