"I can truly say that The Fast and Furious ruined me," mentions Will Trudell, owned of a 2009 Infiniti G37.

Trudell's father took him to see the movie and ever since he's have been fascinated with tuner cars. "My first couple cars were both Honda Accords," states Trudell, "first a 7th generation sedan with a booming sound system, and then second was an 8th generation coupe with full bolt-ons." Both were cool in their own right, but both had things he wanted to improve upon. By the time Trudell was looking to move on from the 8th generation Accord, it was no longer his daily and he was looking for something more unique.

"I had stumbled upon a G37 hardtop convertible and thought 'man that is sweet coupe'", remembers Trudell. He began his search and finally found the one. "It was a very well maintained, mildly modified, low km, 6-speed." Prior to buying the G37 convertible, Trudell knew he wanted to bag it, and from the time he put a deposit down on it he began looking into modifications. "I even bought the wheels for it before I had even picked up the car," laughs Trudell. From there, he's been piecing it together, little by little to where it is today.

"I truly love how unique the car is," states Trudell, "as many people never knew that Infiniti made a convertible version of the G37, let alone seen a modified one."

This is a car Trudell can see himself keeping for a very long time.

FAVORITE MODIFICATION

"It's a toss up between the air ride and the interior pieces. The air ride dramatically changed the look of the car, however the interior Tommykaira parts are very rare, which the JDM fan boy in me loves."

FUTURE MODIFICATIONS

"I have just recently picked up a used Stillen supercharger kit. It should hopefully be installed within the next month or so, just sourcing some missing parts from the kit. Also a week before FITTED I am doing a headlight retrofit, hopefully we can get it done in time!"
