Team SSP is back again with another great vehice. This 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer is a very nice compilation of tasteful modifications, electronics, performance, and more. Bright yellow and black two tone paint scheme in combination with a nice body kit, rims, and tastefully placed graphics are compliments of the owners design.

Truely inspired by street performance with a taste of rally also highlights the history behind the vehicle. Don't let this sedan fool you with four doors because it has potential within to run with the most expensive exotics. Street notoriety and respect come with owning a Mitsubishi Lancer.
