The company's offerings are limited to a couple of racecars including the WRX STI with which Mark Higgins set the fastest production car lap at the Isle of Man this past summer, a pair of 2012 Impreza models accessorized with genuine Subaru parts, a Kicked Audio WRX STI hatch and a fully restored 1986 XT 4WD Turbo coupe.
