Tommy Nguyen fell in love with cars thanks to the Need for Speed video game series and Fast and Furious franchise. Three years ago, he embarked on a modification journey of his own after buying a 2016 Subaru BRZ brand new from the showroom floor. Motivated by the idea of having an eye-catching stock-bodied 86 chassis, Nguyen has been modifying to his heart's content.
