Elisa Banuelos bought her 2017 Subaru WRX brand new in August 2016. With the intention of building a show car already in mind, she began modifying the car inside and out to reflect her love of Arizona green tea and its cherry blossom signature branding. Being unique in modification is what inspired Banuelos to keep going.
