Photography by Jon Sylvester for Canibeat.com
Although most of us at Canibeat have gone the more form/function route with our own cars we try and post a variety of builds. From domestic builds with performance in mind to imports with credit card clearance wheel fitment.
It’s not every day that we come across a build with both the looks and performance. Canibeat exclusive photographer Jon Sylvester recently shot this G35 which in my opinion has a perfect balance of both Form & Function, what do you guys think?

eh, its aiight. its nothing alot of us hasn’t seen before. a fixed up G35..they all go along the same contours so its hard to set a G35 out from the rest.
but the form and function i can see. which is really cool because for one its driveable and two its still stylin’.

This is probably my favorite G35 its perfect. There isn’t to much going on and its really clean. I would defiantly use this for a DD.
