Mel contacted me on My350z.com for a photoshoot of his highly modified Nissan 350Z. With a full Vertex body kit and custom FIVE:AD rims, he is well on his way to building an awesome machine. The way Mel modified his Nissan 350z was clean and subtle, but at the same time the car screams “Check me out!” But don’t take it from me, check out these photos:

What’s up Oliver! The pics turned out great bro. My willingness to drive two hours in traffic, shoot for five hours, and drive back home shows how much I truly believe in your photography skills.
Anyone have any questions please feel free to post them. I’ll check the site periodically and get back to you in a bit.
As always, great set Oliver!
Your blog is interesting!
Keep up the good work!

One of the nicest Z’s I’ve seen. Looking for these FiveAD S5:F wheels for my 2008 G37s are they available? My car is graphite much like the Z in the photos.
Hi Brad,
The Five:AD S5:F is available for your G37. Just hit up Andy@Performance Nissan at 1-866-211-7389 or 1-626-305-3000. He will get you the proper fitment and offset for your ride!
That’s a hot car! Mel – do you mind if I copy your mods? It’s exactly that type of subtle yet striking look I’m going for.
Hi Isabella,
I actually encourage people to copy my mods. It provides good business to all my sponsors and if they’re happy, then I’m happy. Just hit up Andy at Performance Nissan for the best prices. Let him know you saw the car ok! Thanks.

I love that 350z. I wish I would of chose that instead of my eclipse.
Who did you get the rear spoiler from? Is it made by Vertex?
Thanks Jerry I appreciate it.
Hey Joe, that’s actually a stock 350z spoiler in the pics.
