The Cullinan gets Forgiato wheels and a burgundy exterior, which is Shaq's favorite color, along with a Superman symbol.

NBA big men with big money, like Shaquille O'Neal, like to spend their fortune on flashy and loud cars, so how do you stand out unless you customize your six-figure sled? Shaq wanted something unique from hisRolls-Royce Cullinan, so he enlisted the services of West Coast Customs. The goal of the build was simple - keep it clean while adding a little muscle to it.

Shaq and thePimp My Ride-affiliated garage seem to have a good working relationship, as the four-time NBA champion has brought his cars to the shop since the '90s. For this particular Cullinan, West Coast Customs - known for itsoutrageous builds- opted for Mansory upgrades.

According to the shop, Mansory was the best choice because it could add that muscle without losing the luxury factor. The Germany-based tunerworked on a Cullinanearlier this month, except the modifications were not as subtle as what West Coast Customs had in mind.

The Cullinan's slightly wider fender flares embrace the multi-spoke Forgiato wheels with the RR badge in the center cap, and the body was painted in a burgundy finish, the former NBA star's favorite color. A Superman logo was embedded on the grille to cap the build off - a nickname and logo he's used since his NBA fame.

West Coast Customs did not mention any performance upgrades. As such, it is safe to assume the 6.7-liter twin-turbocharged V12 still makes 563 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque.

"The body kit really gave it that stance where it feels factory, but it looks a little bit buffer, perfect for Shaq," said West Coast Customs CEO Ryan Friedlinghaus.

The beefier Rolls-Royce Cullinan adds another build to Shaq's long list of modified cars. One of his latest cars he took delivery of was amodified Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody. Built by Forbes Performance, car has a #34 decal on the hood, which was the number Shaq used as a Laker.
