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,

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.

If they offered the 40th in a 7AT, I would have gotten it. Or if I could drive a manual.

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
