Justin Evaristo has always been a huge fan of the tuner scene since he was a kid back in the San Francisco bay area. "I grew up in the 80s and 90s, the greatest era for JDM," he mentions," and this is where I draw my inspiration from and where I'm rooted when it comes to my build style." Evaristo always knew that he'd build a car that best represented him and he believes the 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X that he currently owns has been the best interpretation of what he thinks a build should be.
"I've had my fair share of builds," Evaristo states, "from an Eagle Talon to a Honda Accord, an E46 M3, and a Mustang 5.0." The Evo X is his most extensive build yet and he's truly proud of how far it has come in the past couple of years.
