Boofsquire Roof Racks Looking for DC Area 370Z Owner

m4a1mustang · 05-31-2009, 02:20 PM

I think the rack is going to turn out great. I could have used it today while I was shopping for lawn furniture!

CBRich · 05-31-2009, 03:34 PM

With the adjustments being so minor I'm guessing it shouldn't be long before this thing is ready to go.

m4a1mustang · 06-06-2009, 05:27 PM

Met with Matt to test fit again... shouldn't be too long before you guys can get one. It's going to be pretty nice.

Boofsquire · 06-11-2009, 12:30 PM

Huge thanks to Steve! I tested the prototype roof rack out on his 370Z on Saturday and it looks like we'll be able to offer this same new design for both the 350Z and 370Z.

We did a photo shoot for the website, which is now updated Boofsquire Roof Racks, I'll post a few up those photos up here. The 370 makes the 350 look positively archaic when they are sitting side by side. The new order system is up and ready to go, but it will be two weeks before we get the new units in from our manufacturer and begin to ship. The new roof racks will go out first come first serve.

Thanks again to Steve for putting up with my antics, he even took it in stride when I tripped while walking backwards with my camera, bounced off his car and fell flat on my butt (D'oh).

And one gratuitous, non-roof rack related photo...

m4a1mustang · 06-11-2009, 02:41 PM

It was fun, man!

I can't wait to put it to use.

CBRich · 06-11-2009, 07:29 PM

Doesn't look too bad just alone. That's a good thing as taking it on and off would get old.

Yeah, it doesn't look bad at all. It kind of adds character... lol.

But taking it on and off is really simple so I don't think it'd be bothersome at all. Once you have it sized up it should probably take 30 seconds to put it on or take it off.

Gestalt73 · 06-14-2009, 03:52 PM

Hey, the rack looks great. Just placed my order.

kster · 06-18-2009, 10:30 PM

Thanks a lot for updating the product for the 370Z; I'm glad it also works with the sport package's spoiler.

I was going to pass on purchasing the 370Z due to no options for hauling a bike.

raps101 · 07-11-2009, 10:00 PM

what else , beside the rack itself do you need to make this work with a road bike?

ncnickusa · 07-12-2009, 06:16 AM

You need to purchase a Bike Mount made to work with the rack system from Boofsquire. Here is a link: Amazon.com: Yakima Viper Fork Mount Rooftop Bicycle Carrier: Sports & Outdoors

Boofsquire · 07-13-2009, 08:58 AM

We just recommend Yakima Accessories, since they tend to be higher quality than the off brand bike and ski mounts. That being said, any accessories designed to work with a universal or Yakima rack will fit on the Boofsquire Roof Rack System for the 370Z, so going with an less expensive option is an... er... option.

m4a1mustang · 07-17-2009, 09:23 AM

Well I picked up my production piece from Matt the other day. Very nice and like I said earlier it doesn't look bad at all by itself. I just need to go buy a Yakima bike mount and I can start hauling my bike around.

There have been a few posts on this forum about our Roof Rack System for the 350Z, but up until now we had not developed a system for the 370Z. We've started getting more inquiries about the 370Z, but need access to car for measurements and photoshoot.

If you're one of those unfortunate owners in the DC area torn between the car they wanted and the sports they need... drop me a line either through boofsquire.com or the message system on this forum. We'd need two meetings, one for the sizing and a second for a photoshoot with the rack on the car. Your car gets (kinda) famous and you keep the roof rack system.

Thanks,
Matt
Founder Boofsquire Roof Racks

Boofsquire isn't making racks anymore. Your best bet is to find one used or build your own. Depending on what weight bikes your hauling it may be to much for the cf hatch.
