If you’ve been following Canibeat for anytime at all you know that many of the features I share here are Infiniti/Nissan builds.  As an Infiniti owner myself, I’ve gotten to know many in our community.  This time, I’m excited to share Thuysi’s (“2C”) 2008 Infiniti G37 Coupe, the third time I’ve shot his car.  2C has recently gotten new wheels, overhauled his interior, and gotten a new BBK.  I first met 2C in 2007 at a local monthly Thursday night meet hosted by Rare JDM.  Back then, he had an HKS Supercharged G35 Coupe.  In 2008 he picked up a brand new G37 Coupe and quickly started working on it when there weren’t many aftermarket options available for the new platform.  Around the same time he founded team Outcast and has been the President and leader of the team since day one.
