This Nissan 350Z is brand new but has already been transformed completely into a show stopper. The custom widebody carbon fiber body kit, and carbon fiber doors, trunk, hood and just about everything else make for a completely different vehicle that is both beautiful and efficient.

• INTERIOR
Defi boost gauge.

• WHEELS & TIRES
20” Davin LS1 wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero Corsa 315/35/20 rear and 285/30/20 front.

• SUSPENSION ET BRAKES
Tein full coilvers, stainless steel brake lines.

Vortek supercharger running at 16 lbs of boost, Vortek front mount intercooler, JE pistons, stainless steel valves, Eagle connecting rods, high-flow intake, Nismo differential, Greddy dual cat-back stainless steel exhaust system.

beautiful i remember years ago when they first came out there was a burnt orange colored one where i lived and it had 20 inch rims with some adapters to make spinners so i posed up beside the car well my friend took pics lol
 
bodykit's a little too much for me...

..and is it me or is the paint not really top notch and the mufflers look REALLY dirty on one of the pictures...
 
A little too much for me as well, done a bit tastelessly IMO, seems like the car is wearing a whole catalog worth of parts. At least this one has more then a few bolt-ons like the previous COTM's! Which member's car is this?
 
^^Dunno if it's the same car, but I know witch one you're referring to, with the carbon fiber doors? But it had different rims then those. It looked a lot like the Onderground design car.

well whats closer, that, or having 75k invested in a 115k car?

the last COTM had 10k invested on a 115k car lawl. I want to see more Drift, lapping and drag cars. **** Shop cars. Nobody cares if they are COTM, just post them on the company website, or make a sticky thread about it if you must absolutely suck up to them but common, COTM? What's so different about this car then any other shop car?

The Benz had a body kit, rims, and tires. Just the body kit must be 20k + paint then the wheels must be 10-15k + 2-3k for tires. I'd say 40k is about right.

But I totally agree, COTM shop cars are stupid.

I want to see a COTM that was built in a driveway.
