2004 Nissan 350Z - Make & Model

This 350Z Has More Than Just Pose Value

And since the man's a star, he went to Star Motoring in Englewood, NJ, to spruce up the interior. This was achieved with Sparco Milano seats (resplendent in red suede) and a Nardi steering wheel, along with a custom console housing, Auto Meter carbon fiber gauges stretching up the driver's-side A-pillar, custom red suede inserts (including the headliner), and a custom roll cage.

What is perhaps the most useless luggage space in all of modern motoring has at last been employed wisely, providing a home for MTX Audio setup that includes the Thunder 8500 500-watt subwoofer. Following the wires back, we find two MTX Audio Thunder 1004 360-watt amplifiers, then an Alpine IVA-D310 head unit with GPS and DVD player.

We have TNT of Lodi, NJ, to thank for the window tinting, so when our significant others see this car, they won't be able to tell that the driver is someone who has been voted by People magazine as one the 50 most beautiful people in the world. Unless, of course, you're one of the other 49, in which case there won't be much of a problem.
