Mits ( Mitsubishi lovingly called ) is so dear to all its fans had a fantastic 5 years here in USA from 2008 when they introduced new design for lancer. Until then it was a dying brand like Suzuki. It then grew leaps and bounds with new Outlander, Outlander Sport, Ralliart & Evolution X released in coming years. Its 'Don't Mess with Me' looks made its fans to fall in love once again.
Mitsubishi was a well known brand in Asia with their famous SUV, Pajero. It was a huge success all the way through its release till today. But its sedan range lost life and in US its been treated as 2nd grade car, not in the likes of Honda's & Toyota's. However Mits Evolution was so famous in rally circuits all around the globe. Mits almost took championships every year after year with Subaru sharing a bit here and there. These days Subaru( STI-WRX ) and Mits ( Evo ) are not in WRC for 2 to 3 years. They are trying to make a tamed version of these monsters for daily usage. These days even a mini is in WRC, I don't know for what reason though.
But that's not the story here. Mits released its small sedan range Lancer GTS which many fans fantasize, who can't afford to drive an Evo or even a Ralliart. I do love GTS because of its cute looks and a mere possibility of getting a facial done at a low cost to make a look alike trimmed down version of Evo. But there is small problem, GTS have a front bumper which is designed awkward with its 2 bottom strips hanging on both sides. So I was looking around for a cheap makeover and found this small garage in California called Road Race Motor Sports (RRM).
Although I liked their CarbonTrix dress up stuff, I curiously browsed through forums & topics about them. I found that they mastered Mits Mods for many years. And they do that reliably without much dollar bills burnt. Their mods not only enhanced the character of the car but also added lots of stigma as a sports car for a daily usage. The best part was they were able to generate enough horses to beat a complete tuned version of Evo X with 1/3rd of the cost.
I know not many people will be excited about an EVO with that power, because you are paying the price. But a lancer GTS stick shift + 6 - 8 grands can make that power amuse lots of fans. And the car is equipped with sway bars, brembo equivalent wide breaks, New Air Filters, Coil over suspensions & Evo like 16G value with a RRM Kit to make it a perfect street car you can drive to office and smoke in the evening. Here are some videos Kerry Ann Dela Cruz ( She's brand ambassador for many brands and also a rally driver & street car fanatic ) taking the RRM version for a spin and come back with all surprises. Here's a small video, you will love it.
Here's the front lip installation which I was actually looking for
