Things you regret doing to your Z

Theres not much I regret here. I love the look of my 40th. However, I really HATE the Bose stereo because it's harder to upgrade to an aftermarket Kenwood. Yes, the Bose sounds "ok" but I want a screen. I wish options were available on the 40th. I feel like I got shafted because you can't get the top of the line with NAV, and you can't get the Base stereo so it could be upgraded easily. I'm stuck in the middle which I think was the worst option.

Also, still on the fence about buying the FI 18" carbon exhaust. I think it sounds better than my HKS but my HKS looks so damn sexy and sits nice and high.

The lack of Nav option on the 40th never made sense to me.

ditto. I think they could have offered it with and without, but to totally leave it off the options list is puzzling.

When I had my '09 I regretted not getting a '10 because the color combo on the 40th is just drop-dead gorgeous. And the red interior.

Yeah, I wish I had an extra 5k to throw down at time of purchase. I'd have gotten a 40th.

I got the FI Carbon Exhaust, 18", loving it. Its blends nicely with the 40th color, but still noticed.

Too bad about the Nav for you guys, very odd. It really sets off the interior, I can even pick a red background on the screen

Yeah, after my black 2009 decided to put itself into a tree I went to the local stealership and had my choice between 4 2009's with touring packages and then a 2010 40th. It was a no brainer.

The one guess (on a limb) I could make as to why they didn't even offer nav, was that being an anniversary model, as a tribute to models past that didn't have nav...they kept it old school? Sounds lame even typing it

Welp, I guess you just have to hand it to the Canucks. Like I said, on a limb. A very thin limb

I regret passing up Touring + Nav

I regret ever trying to go through a carbon fiber parts sponsorship. Nearly ruined the car forever.

I regret not having enough money to buy all of the parts i want at one time and have it complete so I can just set back and have a beer.
