This emblem was the beginning of my Final Edition collection. I never thought I'd own such a rare piece of Mitsubishi history...

Even though my center console isn't a perfect fit, it's still a nice place. You can find out more in the article "My thoughts on the pre-production model US0000"

Since my Lancer is a 2008 model, I naturally never had a color display in the instrument cluster. In 2019, I finally installed the instrument cluster from an ASX. However, there was one small drawback: it didn't have a startup animation. But why? I couldn't answer that question back then...

This commemorative book was presented to the 1000 lucky people in Japan who bought the Final Edition new back then. It was a kind of lottery at the time. I have the commemorative book with the number JP0151. The previous owner received it when he picked up his new Mitsubishi. He kept it at home and never opened it, so I'm doing the same. I will keep it sealed in its original packaging. I don't know if these books were available in other countries, but I think the Japanese pro

These aren't OEM parts from Mitsubishi, but they're very good quality, and I've added a red background to the Final Edition logo. I've attached them to my side skirts.

There are a lot of items and parts related to the Final Edition that I haven't used, but are worth mentioning: handbrake lever Center console armrest two additional decorative license plates A limited edition 1/18 scale Samurai model car Three other emblems: US995, US1240, US1337 The associated shift gates trunk emblem gear knob Various brochures Various Magazines
