Default My GS350 is going to be in "Modified" Rides section

Hey guys I wanted to share some news. I have been sending Super Street magazine pictures of car since Nov. Finally yesterday I got an e-mail from a person at primemedia who wanted more info on the car because they wanted to put the car in the readers rides section of the magazine. I sent him the info and he replied that the car will definetly be in the magazine this month or next month. I am happy because I had my G35 put n the readers rides section in 2005 as well. I have the page and small caption framed. I will be framing this one as well. I know this is not a full 5 page feature , but its still cool to see your car in a magazine with your name and mods next to it. Just wanted to share

heres a picture of my old 2003 G35 sedan that was also put in the readers rides section in 2005. This car had way more modifications than my GS.

heres one of the motor. There were many mods to the suspension. Tokico D spec shocks with tanabe GF springs, Nismo sway bars, kinteix racing upper control arms, camber, and toe arms, energy suspension bushings, and GT spec chasis braces. The car also had a stop tech brake kit, borla exhaust, crawford cats, sport headers, crawford V5 plenum, and JWT cold air intake. To top it off she also had a custom Technosquare ECU retune that was done at the shop not through the mail. It actually has so many mods I dont want to try to list them because it makes me sad that I got rid of her.
