Grassroots Motorsports 818S Build Article #9: It’s a Wrap!

grm-818-pt9-coverThe December issue of Grassroots Motorsports features build part #9 of the magazine’s excellent 818S build series coverage. In this article, the white gel-coat car gets a very nice wrap with GRM graphics and finishing details.

The crew from Grassroots Motorsports, up to this point, has kept the car base Subaru WRX donor, and now are planning on making performance upgrades and aesthetic upgrades like this killer wrap.  We’ve got some new carbon parts that we want to send them to try, and the GRM guys are excited about the performance increases that can be had for relatively short money with the WRX power plant.
