Of course, this would be all for naught if the Supra looked as dingy as the day he bought it. So Alex went really smooth with the exterior changes. He added a major Seibon carbon-fiber lip, Stout hood, Top Secret rear diffuser with vortex generators, and a set of Ganador carbon-fiber mirrors. If looks could give hip checks, this would be it. Underneath the chassis is a set of HKS Hyper Max Drag II coilovers, governing the set of 18-inch Volk Racing GT-V Top Secret gold wheels, wrapped with gooey fun in some BFGoodrich KDW tires.
Inside features two Bride XAX leather seats, a Top Secret limited edition all-black steering wheel, Project Mu pedals, and a carbon-fiber custom-made dash kit to make all the hypebeasts drool. Alex also didn't forget about the interior sounds, installing a Kenwood head unit and a set of Alpine speakers to make your inner ears deaf. All of which is a testament to the hard work Alex put into the car.
Despite the fact that he's making it big as a professional athlete overseas and that he comes from a small town, Alex makes it known that his real passions lie in turbos, exhausts, and wheels. Just Google his name and the first results will reveal his true love, the tuning life, followed up by his other gig, pro hockey. "I don't want to be like anyone else," he said, "I never stopped building this car even through many setbacks. Besides, all that makes me really smile is blowing the doors off any V-8."
