Born in Hawaii, Made in Japan

Photography by Ethan Yuen / Words by JC Vallido for Canibeat.com

Google tells us it’s approximately 3,901 miles from Japan to the islands state of Hawaii. This doesn’t mean that anything VIP from Japan can’t be replicated in the beautiful islands of huh-WAH-ee. VIP followers tend to stop with bags and shiny dished wheels, but not this owner. This gentleman has definitely stepped up his aloha game with style.

This 2000 Infiniti Q45 aka Kouki Y33 Cima elegantly sports K-Break Aero (we at Canibeat are big fans). The car is the complete package of what a VIP car should look like and we hope to see more of these vehicles replicated nationwide.  I love seeing this owner really setting the tone to go for broke or… swim home.  Hawaiian style has definitely invaded their islands and the world is next! Is the Hula Girl dashboard doll the new Fusa?
