Alexandre's STI

Alexandre Michaud is the proud owner of this 2011 subara STI all the way from Saint-Georges, Quebec, Canada! Starting with the basics, Alexandre began his build by lowering the car on coilovers with some wheels. As a typical enthusiast, he lowered the car some more (because you can never be too low) and added the front and side lips, as well as a Magnaflow catback. His initial modifications took just 1-2 months!
What is next? Since an enthusiast is never satisfied, Alexandre is looking into some air suspension, a Catless downpipe for a complete TurboBack, a Ecutek tune, a front mount intercooler, and a cold air intake. With so much already completed, Alexandre still has quite a ways to go before he is fully satisfied with his ride! When he finally finishes his build, future projects may be a Nissan GTR r35. But of course, his dream car is a Lamborghini Gallardo because he has always loved the shape of the car and would love to have a twin turbo kit on one!
Favorite sites: Alexandre loves to surf andy's autoparts, hottexhaust, ebay and also visit his local shop for parts and inspiration.

James McDonnell from Broward County, FL is the proud owner of this 2012 BMW 535i MSport. This show stopper took James about 1 year to complete; his inspiration was all his own, trying to be as unique as possible.
Although there weren't many problems to run into with this build, one of the major milestones for James was when he installed the Vossen CV2s and coilovers. With these additions, the look of his car was completely changed.
James has many favorites when it comes to websites for buying parts, but his ultimate sites are Bimmian and Turner Motorsports. For James, a build is never completely finished, but he does hope to add Air Suspension next. In the future, he also hopes to "complete" a Fiat Abarth.
