FAVORITE MODIFICATION
"It’s very hard to pick a favorite. But if I have to pick, it’d probably be the bigger turbo. It’s the heart of this car and obviously it really livened up the power and made it a lot more fun to drive! And the installation was a lot fun since at the same time I pulled the motor apart to make sure it would be up to the extra boost. Also replaced all of the exhaust and some other parts while upgrading the turbo."

"My most favorite modification to the car is probably the flares and paint job. It's a custom paint job that is a Nardo Grey base coat with a teal and white crystal pearl in it. It's a color you rarely see and in the sun and light it can give off a whole different color."
