Jhay Ar Del Castillo purchased his 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer when he was fresh out of LVN school. His original intentions were to keep it stock, but after a fender bender he had to change his front bumper, and he realized how much more he could do to make his car look great. Inspired by his team, Team Hybrid, he has transformed the look of his once-stock Lancer.
