When Alvin Melo first got his license at the age of 16 he didn't really know about the car scene. "I got my first car, a Honda Civic," mentions Melo, "and it started from there." Melo lightly modified the Civic with parts, such as window tint, wheels, and aero kit. "After modifying my Ccivic," states Melo, "I fell in love with how you can change a car's look with various parts." Another project car and previous build for Melo was an RBDET-powered 1995 Nissan Silva.
Melo bought the 2013 BMW 335i in 2017 and decided to modify and keep it as a daily. "I met these guys at a car meet," remembers Melo, "and started to realize I can really do something in the car scene." His friends helped build his car, and inspiration on building it is himself. "I want to be different than everyone else and modify my car to my liking."
