From my First car in high school to a multi award-winning show car

Starting as a "daily driver" a reconstruction of this nature isn't an overnight job. There is balance of knowing when to jump on trends and when to break the mold. Often I sit on an idea for months perfecting a design.

There is no race against other car show mutuals. I have great respect and am eager to become inspired and learn whether attending a local show or following car enthesitis across the world. This has proven time and time again as a car show award winner. Some of these awards include best Subaru, paint, interior, bagged, and best trunk. The Subaru has undergone many makeovers through my ownership of the car. Including a gloss black rose wrap and contrasting white Work XD9 wheels.

I have always had a love for my car and constantly put my spare time and money into the Subaru. But that all that came to a head in 2020 when Utah saw a hurricane like windstorm with gusts 100 mph and over. The storm came in heavy, and I jolted to my keys to move my car out from under the neighbor's tree. But just as I was about to, the tree gave in, landing directly on top of the Subaru as well as my dads truck. This was devastating at the time but, only the beginning of a new chapter for the Subaru. It created a fresh canvas and opened up a world of possibilities when I was only 22 years old.

Through the tragedy of the car accident, I saw an opportunity. Instead of having insurance pay to have the car restored to its original look, I took the money and joined it with my own savings to invest in a stunning one of a kind paint job. I reached out to Elite Customs Utah to do my paint and body work. I worked very closely making sure the surface was in perfect condition before working with their team to custom make the perfect blue color. I constantly checked up on my car, and likely drove the guys at the shop crazy making sure every detail was to my standards. This Detail focused mindset is what leads to DIYing most of my projects.
