Andrew Bynaums Wald Black Bison GTR

In the world of star athletes there are celebs like Michael Phelps, satisfied with shiny black wheels, and then there are the afflicted. For example: Laker's Center Andrew Bynum with his "Giant Killer" Nissan GT-R and its $20K body kit.


For the $20K it'll cost you, the Wald Sports Line Black Bison body kit adds a Japanese-tuner-style aggressive touch, though we're not big on the black strip featuring various brands in an orange script. It works better on a Honda.


Performance upgrades are fairly standard and include an upgraded intake, freer-flowing exhaust, ECU tune and Turbosmart dual-port blow-off valves. And of course, because he's still a young and wealthy athlete, there are the expected 21-inch black wheels, but at least these are forged aluminum instead of chrome.

The car is featured in this month's issue of Super Street.





Bonus* Ron Artest gets pulled over in an Indy car :smiley-rofl:

Your right, It's a kit car. A $200,000 kit car at that. It's also street legal

That GTR is nice to look at at. My only issue is AFAIK there is no performance mods whatsoever. Can't just look the part in the performance world.

I love the Bison Kit. Pretty cool to see NBA players in something other than escalades and Bentleys on 24s.

Am I the only one that really doesnt like this kit on the GTR?

The fact that its Wald and cost $20K still doesnt make it cool to me....

LOL 1 min difference

I think those bulky corners F up the flow of things.
I bet if the pic was straight from the front, it'd look better. I think haha

$20k with wheels and tires I hope.

If that front was called the Spyder II IMPACT and sold for $499 on bodykits.com it would not be out of place.

Don't get me wrong, I love Wald, just not this version of the Black Bison.

20k is about right. You can get it in FRP or Carbon, I am guessing he got his in carbon. That includes the full kit, fogs, quarter panels, front fenders and trunk spoiler. Still over priced but thats Black Bison for you + it has to appeal to those who actually have the money. Too cheap, they won't buy it.

I personally love it on this car. I am not a fan of the GTR in general. I don't even give them a second look at car shows but this one makes it look less like generic. The vents are strategically placed and the car is real aggressive. It's not super clean but its not meant to be. The Japanese established their own identity in terms of styling and it Looks like what a Japanese super car should look like IMO
