Fabulous
From Japanese cars to Mercedes, Fabulous supports a wide range of custom builds. The prestigious company leads its own team in racing, then feeds the technology developed there back into its products...
Fairlady Z
NISSAN
Designed with overall balance in mind, the aero bodywork creates an exceptionally solid look. The Fabulous team members are delighted with the result, too.
This is the GT Sports Z. Fabulous is one of Japan's leading dress-up brands, and this product emphasizes a luxurious feel. But its name also promises a sporting edge, and it is packed with performance details. The voluminous aero package uses full bumpers, with a design that accounts for ground clearance when lowered.
The design even considers road clearance when the car is lowered. At the wheels, Fabulous uses its advanced forged-aluminum expertise to create the Expand R. Combined with a substantially strengthened suspension, it brings the Sport-Lux concept to life.

Fabulous has released the GT Sports Z with great anticipation. It combines the company's signature aero kit with a racing-spec suspension. The prestige of one of Japan's foremost constructors is evident in the abundant sporty yet luxurious details.
The aero kit has a strong presence without being overdone, and it highlights the Fabulous look while preserving the factory styling. Materials and everyday practicality have also been considered. The driving lamps produce 100,000 candela at 55 watts.
