The 2007 Nissan 350Z has been Alexime Maldera Vu's dream car since he was a child. Vu purchased the 350Z stock 1 week prior to winter in 2014 and he decided to customize it the way he's always wanted. Vu purchased many parts. Each time he received a new part he told himself that he would and should stop, but he couldn't; it was stronger than him. Vu added his personal touch to the modified 350Z in order to be different and stand out from the other Zs. To complete the Z, Vu plans to swap the existing motor with a 2JZ-GTE in a shaved bay and add a roll cage to the interior.
