Clay Settle

It took just a single test drive before Clay Settle knew he wanted to take the 2003 Nissan 350Z home with him. That was accomplished soon after, and since then, Settle has turned his daily driver into a unique show car. With a number of modifications already made, there’s only a few more to check off the list, including a custom paint job, Do-Luck widebody and matching wide wheels.
