What iss the point of this? It is just for looks. You are paying money for raising the centre of gravity on your cars. If you ask me it is a waste of money. Now if it was replacing the roof as in an M3 then yes great, but I imagine it would cost a heck of a lot more dosh.

Can't argue with the bling flingers though. They just don't get it.

Look, I'm very much in the "functional" crowd, but give these guys a break on the looks stuff. If you didn't care about the looks of your new 370Z, you could've built up a nice track (or street) performer for less money on an older and crappier platform, many options exist. It's hard to say anyone bought the brand new 370Z without any regard to how the vehicle they're driving looks.

I'm more into go than I am into show but once the 370 becomes as common place as the 350, I would consider this. It's a nice looking piece.

You're being a little bit ridiculous here.

If you do ANYTHING to alter the look of your Z from the factory we should all get on you about it with ridiculous arguments like, "this is stupid, i don't like it. you guys suck."
