Owner: Hector Perez
Location: Wood Dale, IL. USA
Vehicle: 2004 Nissan 350Z
Car Club: Team Projekt X
Horsepower: 350

Hector first saw the all-new Nissan 350Z at the Chicago Auto Show, in 2003. With gas prices rising, he traded in his Dodge Durango for a brand new 2004 350Z Enthusiast with 26 miles on it.
When he first got the car, he was completely unaware of the modding scene; work, travel, and other hobbies dominated his time. Additionally, he spent most of 2006-2008 living in other states while his ride remained in Chicago. When he moved back to Illinois, the twi were reunited permanently and he decided to change some things up. First came the intake, and that was the beginning. After attending his first JDMC meet in the fall of 2009, a cold-air intake would not be enough to satisfy the mod bug inside him.
Now, three and a half years later, he changed all the necessities and he has big plans for 2013.
