When you find a machine like the Nissan 350Z that really ignites your passion for cars, it’s easy to let that passion get the better of you and end up turning a nearly perfect ride like the Z33 into something a little too flashy or a little too over-the-top. But not Junior. With the guidance of friends and sponsors like Andy Kim from MyNismo.com, Brian Fox from Fox Marketing and Dat Nguyen from Vertex USA, this Texas transplant (originally from Toronto) has preserved all the natural allure of his Z and enhanced it by building on its strengths. No garish body kits or big shiny wheels, just tasteful JDM modifications that perfectly compliment the Z’s interior and exterior design plus a big single turbo under the hood to give it enough go-factor to match its wow-factor. As they say in France, "c’est magnifique!"
