Car Description:
My build started with the goal of making a SJ Forester XT into what I felt the car should have looked like and been offered as from the factory, from an all-aluminum (1 of 1) scooped hood...to a complete STI suspension and brake package... to a full STI Recaro interior with custom color accents. The car has many custom-made parts and parts retrofitted from other models. Once the build started though, my vision changed into building what I hope others will view as the cleanest modified SJ Forester in the world.
Thank you for your consideration!
