The Lancer OZ Rally Edition is a model from the early 2000s that often flies under the radar. While most enthusiasts would opt for the Evo of the same generation, it’s not always financially viable, especially with current prices. Andre Felix Hernandez wasn’t intending a big power build, so the rare 2003 Lancer OZ Rally edition served as the perfect canvas for his vision.
With a focus primarily on aesthetics and hitting local shows, he radically transformed the OZ’s exterior with the help of some carefully chosen aero. The Kaminari JDM front end, Evo-styled carbon fiber hood, Evo 9 wing, and a variety of tasteful add-ons make this Lancer truly one of a kind. For his efforts, Hernandez received the TBGLIVE award at Importfest 2024.
