Kevin’s Scion IM

Every car build has a unique story, and Kevin's transformation of his 2016 Scion iM is a prime example of vision and creativity.

At 19, Kevin saw potential in the Scion iM, a car that many might overlook. Determined to transform it from its original, uninspiring state into a head-turning hot hatch, he embarked on a journey of modifications. With a clear vision and dedication, Kevin turned his first car into something unique and clean, far from its original form.

Kevin's Scion iM is more than just a car; it's a symbol of his hard work and passion for automotive customization. The transformation from a mundane vehicle to a striking hot hatch has brought immense satisfaction and recognition. A significant milestone in Kevin's journey was securing a sponsorship from The Detail Garage, in partnership with Chemical Guys, a testament to the quality and appeal of his build.

Kevin’s 2016 Scion iM boasts an array of modifications that enhance both performance and aesthetics. He installed Tein coilovers and Aodhan DS06 wheels, which dramatically improved the car's stance and handling. Under the hood, the car features an Injen intake, headers, a tune, and an exhaust system, complemented by iridium spark plugs for enhanced engine performance.

To improve stability, Kevin added DC Sports sway bars and anti-roll bars both front and back, including underneath the car. The audio system was completely overhauled with a Kenwood Excelon system, replacing all speakers and adding two 10-inch subs in the hatch for a powerful audio experience. The interior received a custom black finish with starlights, adding a touch of luxury and uniqueness.

Kevin's journey with his Scion iM is far from over. His passion for cars and dedication to improving his vehicle ensure that there are more modifications and memories to come. The Scion iM will continue to evolve, reflecting his creativity and love for automotive culture.
