Drew Evans, a Digital Leader / Senior Website Developer for a Health Communications / Market Access Firm is all about being unique, one-off, and one of a kind.  He always wanted to create a build that represented his vision, theme from bumper to bumper, inside and outside.  When asked this question often, he explains that there are pieces on this build which were never meant to fit, and took much time to fabricate and pull off.  Many coupes can do what this build can, but never has a sedan.  Drew prides himself on keeping the majority of aftermarket build parts JDM.

Drew started modifying cars back in high school.  His first car was a 1996 Nissan Altima SE.  He has always been a JDM enthusiast, and will always be.   Drew has driven and owned Nissan / Infiniti his entire life.  He started with his first Nissan to a 2006 Infiniti G35 Coupe, then to a 2011 Infiniti FX50S, and now currently to his 2013 G37 Sedan and his daily driven Juke Nismo.   We suppose one can say he has come full circle with the sedan life.  When he bought his Juke, he realized he had his G to the point of not daily driving it, it finally gave him the opportunity to really start customizing it.

The biggest appeal point of  Drew’s car is the widebody sedan look.  It is something that is rarely seen, and pulled off correctly.  The amount of bodywork that went into fabricating / molding everything together was substantial.

Drew says, “I started immediately after purchasing the car in 2013. It was originally white, with very basic bolt-on modifications. After winning a few shows (best Infiniti) in 2014, I got a taste of competition and decided to go full throttle (pun intended) on a full all around build. I am now on build year 3.”  We think Drew’s efforts have totally paid off with this one of a kind build that we had a chance to capture on our trip down to Harrisburg PA, for Lowlifestyle Junkstyles Junk Food meet earlier in the season.

The car scene has changed a lot. When Drew first started tinkering around a decade ago, there were a lot of new ideas and innovation. People had unique visions and ran with them; weren’t afraid to be different.  Currently we  see a lot of trendsetting now, and “follower builds” unfortunately.  Drew mentions that he think for the betterment of the car scene there needs to be some more uniqueness out there.  Be different! Innovation is a good thing!  I think Drew’s creation nailed it.

Drew really enjoys the car scene first and foremost, seeing unique build ideas come to life; not copied and mimicked several times over.  He also enjoys astronomy, so much so that his interior has a custom fiber optic starry headliner.   As you can see in the picture above this is a totally unique experience and an idea.  The  and trunk also are eye catching.  The twinkling trunk constellations are the zodiac birth signs of my wife and children.  Drew’s other hobbies include hockey, scuba diving, travelling and spending time with his wife and 3 children.  His family is the biggest support he has with his build, as it takes a lot time allocation and priorities.
