Kayla Puddister used to own a base model Lancer, but when she wanted more freedom to modify the car and enjoy its performance, she decided to trade up to this 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart. As the only member of her family with an interest in cars, her inspiration comes from her daily life as a graphic designer.

Max Fairley bought his dream car, a 2012 Subaru WRX STI, from the dealership a couple years ago. He originally thought he didn't need to do anything to it, but it was only a matter of time before he started talking to local mechanics about the car's possibilities. Once the ideas started flowing, Fairley began putting in the work to change things up inside and out.

Mo Iqbal once owned a Honda S2000, which he heavily modified, but when it came time to step things up to a more hardcore platform, he knew that the 2012 Nissan GT-R was the car for him. In addition to some bolt-on power adders, Iqbal wanted to customize the appearance of his GT-R as much as possible. By all accounts he seems to have succeeded.
