Kyle Roberts: 2007 Subaru Forester

Kyle Roberts had once owned a Subaru Forester that he eventually traded in for a WRX, but he found himself longing to return to the wagon Forester scene. He finally found the right one, and booked a flight to pick the car up on the other side of the country. With a vision in mind for the ultimate Forester, Roberts took his 2007 Subaru Forester to another level with his own hands and the help of some friends.
