2009 Nissan Skyline GT-R - The Customer Is Always Right

With relatively few modifications made to it, calling this GT-R "subtle" wouldn't be accurate-it's wild. It was commissioned, like many modified rides of those with "new money", to turn heads. The quality components and craftsmanship that have gone into it are undeniable, though it's overall style may not be to the liking of the purists among us. To the few who may want to share some "constructive criticism" with it's foreign owner, we offer a bit of advice: the guy hails from the land of Vigo the Carpathian, a country where the general citizenry considers a fellow by the name of Vlad III "The Impaler" (Dracula, to the rest of you) a national hero. You might want to keep your comments to yourself.
