Bill Zissopoulos’ 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback Ralliart

Although this new line up from Mitsubishi is very unfamiliar, Bill has taken the plunge and has yet to look back. Bill wanted to get the Evo X but decided against it so that not only him, but his wife can enjoy this black beauty too. Quickly after getting the car, he had has eyes set on a set of wheels. The wheels were off an EVO so the wide fenders were able to tuck the wheels but being a Ralliart, it lacked wide fenders. Bill was not going to give up on it so off he went to roll fenders. Check out how well he was able to get these to sit flush. In this short period of time a decent amount of work has been done. Read along to find out the entire story of Bill and his sexy SportBack.
