Nichole Mckinney has worked at Subaru for the past four years, but knew they'd be the platform she needed before her first day. McKinney was actually looking at the STI, but at some point during her second year, she fell for the 5th Generation Legacy.
“Unfortunately, in 2012 the Legacy GT was discontinued otherwise it would have been my choice of car!”
That’s when she “settled” for the 2014 Subaru Legacy. McKinney saw only one problem - every modified WRX/STI on the road looked the same to her, so McKinney went on a mission to make her build stand out from the rest.
“My favorite modification has to be my purple camouflage wrap,” explains McKinney. “Each piece was individually cut and layered. A lot of time and dedication was put into it by Tuning Works and it is not something you see every day. I love the color choices I had picked out.”
The Legacy is soon getting some more upgrades, including new multimedia, brakes, racing seats and coilovers.
