Julius Gandia: 2008 Mitsubishi Evolution

Julius Gandia was the fourth person in the Unites States to pick up a Varis V2 widebody kit for his 2008 Mitsubishi Evolution, but this car isn't just for show. With a focus on performance, driveability, and overall cohesiveness through matching aesthetics, Gandia carefully planned out and built his Evo X to a proper all-around build that feels at home on the show floor and the streets.
