Thanks, that brings things into perspective.

At least the above users provided insight on the install.

Aside from the planned spoiler what else is going on the car? It is better if it flows with the rest of the exterior mods. It would be incomplete all by itself.

My honest opinion? Very few cars can pull off looking good both as a roadster and a hardtop. The Z isn't one of them. You'll probably be improving it.

Yea i don't like cars with a fat a55 either, I prefer those skinny anorexic a55es that dip in when they walk....

Beautiful but ugly....I don't even think you know what you're trying to say haha.
