Wesley Shum has always been a fan of Subaru, not only for their cars, but also the community that follows. Shum says the 2015 Subaru WRX offered the best bang for his buck and has since been a great platform to build upon.
“My favorite modification is the blue STi Brembo [brakes]. It really gives the car a nice pop - it’s subtle, yet beautiful.”
Shum says he’s not quite sure when the build will be finished, but knows the next install is going to be a new set of taillights, as well as a Perrin gurney flap.
