well, that's nissan skyline in japan, i don't see much wrong about that.

a lot of people make their GS into aristo and IS into altezza anyway

Man, to tell the truth I like this vehicle strictly as a show car. It's eye candy. As a daily driver it's a little too far fetched but it works as a show car.

Default Wow....

I haven't seen a bowling ball paint job in years.That went out in the early 90's.For those of you who are scratching your head, it was also referred to as a "seran wrap" paint job.I like the color, but the whole bowling ball effect kills it. The wheels got to go also.I wouldn't label this guy in the same category as the NY WIZARD, he is on another level ...What that level may be? I have no idea...

Exclamation my opinion

lose the 100 dollar pioneer cd player in the passenger side dash, don't like the red material on the dash, wheels are so-so, paint is nice,

Yeah the paint is alright.. although i wouldn't do it to my car. The rims arent exactly my thing either... And i have a lot of mixed opinions on the interior. over all i give it a C-.

I think that paint job looks sweet! I've never seen that before.
The interior's no good though. Matching colors are way over done.

An Infiniti G35 is a NIssan Skyline 350GT in japan so it makes sense to put it on. It's a show car so thats why its so flashy. I think i saw it at hot import nights a few weeks ago

The color ain't bad, i like it. At least he was smart enough to make the interior red only where it wouldn't glare.

OK that makes better sense then, something I wasn't aware of in the beginning but now I know. Thanks for the clarification
