^what roll bar???

And I kinda agree on the colors

I agree as well. Nissan only used a base coat in the engine compartment, then we put the exterior color over the compartments. Mike, thepowdercoater could not match up the paint. The colors do bug me as well. Oh well, there is only so much I could do. I'll prob paint everything like the base coat in the engine compartment. Don't care for that color, but at least I don't have to deal with all that work.... for now.... lol

am i losing my mind or is there some kind of roll bar going over the headrest?

Well, the roll bar actually sits behind the seat. It does hinder the seat from moving back about 2 inches and I can't lean back as far. My 6'1" girlfriend still fits in the passenger seat comfortably. lol
The roll bar is mainly to hold the removable top in the back. As far as actual functionality for safety, it would fail. We did paint it black at one time due to the comments from the370z.com, but i like the yellow for show. So, yellow it is.

Could you do the targa on the Nismo? Can you have a clear targa like the Corvette?

I thought it didn't have one because you guys said the chassis was so strong that when you jacked it by a corner nothing flexed and such

That is true, we had to install a roll bar because it is holding the targa in the back hatchback area. The roll bar is not helping any rigidity what so ever. We had to gut the back and remove the tire and all so the top would fit. It sure isn’t a corvette. Buying one of those would be way too easy.
