Steven Wiggins' love for the Nissan Z started in high school. The, then new to the market, 350z revived the legacy of the Datsun 240z from the early 1970s. Although he was never able to bring a 350z home, his love for the car remained and in 2011 - Steve bought a lightly used and completely stock 40th Anniversary Edition 370z.
At first, Steven wanted to keep the limited edition 1 of 1000 Z OEM, however within a year of driving the car home, modifications started to pile on and the body lines and interior transformed to the vehicle you see before you. Four sets of wheels, constant changes to suspension settings and continual tweaks to the overall appearance of the vehicle later, he's accumulated some of the rarest and most sought after parts made for the 370z. From the beginning, there have only been two goals - modifying the car to a tasteful point, and enjoying the fine-tuned performance nature of the vehicle.

FAVORITE MODIFICATION // I’d say I have a favorite “family” of modifications. Over the past couple of years I’ve collected almost all the parts Top Secret produced for the 370Z and at this point most of them have been discontinued. The rarest parts include a 1 of 1 titanium exhaust and a very limited run titanium strut bar.
