Absolutely.
I was using the term 'hater' in the slang way not literally.
I never thought it was a special edition just was trying to find reasons as to why I have a sunroof.. It looks really good though honestly.
IT'S A 350Z I've test driven the car alot.
Plus check my Vin bro carfax...it will describe exactly what I have..minus the sunroof pics to come!!!
I apologize to the forum for the curse words... I have a filthy mouth (plus I was a lil drunk lol )
Ok and is there any way not to have the windows roll all the way down...when you hit the button..?
Also what can I do to 'lighten the steering of the Z?

Don't know but here in Chicago, After the comparisons that was the best deal with warranty and free lifetime oil changes.. Well I wanted the Z and I'm willing to pay for it after a yr or two i'll trade for a newer one!

The window thing.. if you press it in all the way, it'll roll down. If you press the button only half way before the "notch" in the window button, it'll stop whenever you let go.
Oh, it's a sports car not a luxury sedan. The steering wheel is supposed to feel like that and there's no way to change it.

I'd still like to know if Nissan or your insurance company will have an issue will cutting the roof to install a sunroof -- like I said in my earlier post... the structural integrity could have been compromised if not done properly.

i've seen pics of a sunroof on a brickyard before, i'm just curious if this is the same car... the sunroof looked like it measured maybe 12"X36"
so from front to back it was VERY shallow, but it was wide... i would be willing to bet that the install is very small... mainly because the curve of the roof is too much to place a STRAIGHT piece of glass...
the best way to go is cabriolet... if i were to do a custom roof job... that would be it... i have a photoshopped image that looks great if you guys want to see it...
as for the brickstone... i think you have two of the Zs available colors mixed up... i would be willing to bet that it was the stupidity of the dealer that got you on that... i only say that because it was the stupidity of MY dealer that wanted to argue that the 03 Z came in a 5 speed MT and not 6... but with 1 month+ research you should have at least come across that... even if you just grazed over the nissan website: www.nissanusa.com
i'm not posting anything offensive, or nothing was intended to be insulting but just corrective, if you start writting all over the forums with inaccurate information and wild stories, please be prepared to back it up or be flammed... I find that's just the way it is...

I'mnot writing all over the forum with wild stories...I don't race or care to mod the car up ... PLEASE CHECK THE VIN THAT'S THE COLOR BRICKYARD. And my cousins letting me use his camera and I'll post very fast folks don't worry then you all can tell me what you think...
So there really is no Nissan 350z's with a sunroof? I'll also scan a bill of sales so you can see exactly what it says and what I knew..I couldnt find that color in pics too... It's like a dark marroon...On the Nissan website (of course I went there and in the brochures I can't find that color) I'm going to call the dealer and tell him what you all think a custom install... etc
Is there anyway to verify this sunroof issue like something from Nissan?

There you go.. see? brickYARD, not brickSTONE. That's what people were telling you before. But I'm sure it was just a typo on your part the last 4 or 5 posts right?
There was NEVER a Z with a factory sunroof. G's have it, but Z's have too small of a roof and too curvy to have one.
Brickyard? That's a factory color. We just wanted you to say brickYARD and not brickSTONE. And yes, it's a maroonish color.
There's nothing to verify with Nissan if you do have a sunroof. We are and have been telling you that there's no damn sunroof on the Z. If you don't believe us, the more knowledgeable (for the most part) people about Zs, I don't know what else to tell you. If what you have is a Z and it has a sunroof, then it was custom. End of story.
Now let's see them pictures!!! I'm very interested in this sunroof of yours.

OH ok ..could have just said I was stating the wrong color. Lol
Relax man, I believe you folks about the sunroof...but thats gets me no where when I try to prove it to the dealer etc... that's why I was asking for something I could look into.
But none the less cool I have a custom sunroof hehehe I'll take pics tommorow regardless of how late and post them after work.or early the nextmorning... any specific shots...? I'll take a ton but any like buttons or somethig?

Yeah, we could have told you about saying the name of the color wrong, but we like being difficult.
The dealer's playing dumb if they say the sunroof is a part of it. Ask them to call any Nissan dealership.
Take pictures from inside, outside, up above, opened, closed, control buttons, etc.

The insurance folks didn't say anything about it...because I got all type of coverage... almost every option lol

It says it's now Martin Nissan formerly Fergus Nissan, so I don't see where you got the MB dealer.
Also, you're definitely out of the hot seat, in terms of the sunroof. The sunroof doesn't actually look too bad. It does seem a bit clean. Still waiting for YOUR pictures with it open, closed, inside, outside, etc. Wow, you have a 350Z with a sunroof.. congrats!
