In the movie, 2 Fast 2 Furious, the second of the series, Brian O’Conner was the only guy who came back from the original movie.  This time around, he had a buddy named Roman Pearce, played by Tyrese Gibson.  O’Conner needed a partner whom he could trust to work an assignment that was forced on him by the police.  Of course, there were conditions.  Pearce was serving a prison sentence, but he can be pardoned if he successfully assisted O’Conner in infiltrating a drug trafficking ring in Miami, where the stage was set for dangerous street racing.

Roman Pearce drove a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder Convertible.  The metallic silver and purple tuner car was powered by a stock 200-hp 3 L V6 engine.  The body was modded for street racing with a Shine Street wide body kit and rear wing.

A little bit of a trivia here.  According to the book, The Fast and The Furious: The Official Car Guide, Tyrese Gibson had a role in modding the Eclipse Spyder.  Apparently, it was his idea to paint the car with an eye catching webby design.  He also chose the nice Lowenhart BR-5 alloy wheels to polish off the design.
