Name  Rodolfo “Ivan” Manio IG- @1slobaru2h8 Crew Name  Team Hybrid Vehicle Year, Make, Model  2016 Subaru WRX Premium Bio  Im a father of two. My oldest is 16 and the youngest is 13 years old. Happily married to my beautiful wife for 16 years and counting.  Why did you choose this car?  I choose this car because I’ve always wanted to have an AWD turbocharged vehicle. I’ve wanted an Evolution 9 but the time and money didn’t allow me to have one. So when Subaru came out with this type of design on the WRX, I cant pass not owning one.  What makes your build unique?  I would say Im more after the functionality of the build and my plan for it to be unique will take time. I want my car to stand out away from the other people who have the same model as mine.  How did you get started

Name  Sean Sampayan   Crew Name  NvUS (Inland Empire chapter) Vehicle Year, Make, Model  2014 Honda Civic Si coupe  Bio I was born in Riverside county in 1981. I grew up around muscle cars. I started getting into imports right after High school when I got my first Honda CRX. I love functional builds as well as show/stanced builds. I love taking my cars onto the race track and working on my own cars. Why did you choose this car?  I originally wanted a 2013 Civic Si sedan. Until I saw the 2014 coupe front end change with the aggressive design, that's when I knew I wanted the coupe. It's a perfect daily car and weekend warrior.  What makes your build unique? Mostly I see these newer Honda Civic stanced or bagged whereas I grew up around cars where you build it, use it, rebuild it.
