At the age of 14, Yan Grégoire Aubé discovered his passion for painting cars. "It turned out to a full time trade," mentions Aubé. A 1996 Dodge Neon was the first car he customized. "I swapped the motor with one from an SRT4," remembers Aubé, "it had a sick paint job and 3 different tints of Chameleon that gave it 21 colours." As he progressed with the Neon, he started competing at local car shows and was awarded trophies and much more.
"When I focused on my family and had children, I put my passion for custom cars on hold for a couple of years," mentions Aubé. In 2017, he bought a 2014 Lexus IS 350 RWD, and painted the roof, mirrors and trunk. "I ordered a new hood, front lip, back lip; enlarged all my wings and added an Air Lift Performance suspension," he states.
Aubé is once again focussed in his craft and is proud that he built and painted the IS 350 himself.
