Default snowboard rack for a Z?

hey guys i recently got rid of my truck so the z is now my only vehicle and i was wondering if anyone knew where i could get a snowboard rack for my 03 z?


before you start flaming i'm not about to give up boarding and i dont care if it isn't the best appearance mod out there but i would be stoked if anyone could point me in the right direction. thanks in advance

dont worry ak, just ignore the flammers, I know what your saying. I bought my car knowing it would be difficult during snowboard season too. I couldnt find one and ended up just getting rides/making other people drive last season. The car can be pretty scary to drive in snow and black ice, but its doable. You dont have others ways to get up there?

I put soft racks on my Z everytime I go surfing! Looks terrible but it beats sand in the ride.

damn... ITS A CAR GUYS! i snowboard and i dont think it would take THAT much away from the looks of a car to wher ei wouldn't want to drive it anymore or anything. im from alaska and had an 03 cobra that i drove in the snow just fine so im sure the lower 48 states snow won't cause me much trouble. im not going to give up boarding or anything and this is gonna be my only car til spring when my wife starts working again then i am gonna buy myself a harley truck but for now i only need one car so this one has to be multi functional. thanks for the help to those who posted possible solutions tho! much appreciated!

i have to agree tho the rear racks are ugly, i'd much rather have a roof rack but... what can you do

Well I assume you already have LSD/Traction control/and some hefty snow tires since you live in Alaska.....


But my snowboard fits inside the Z as long as you don't have a passenger

Something just doesnt seem right with this. It is your car, so you can do whatever you want. I just think you should get something else for this need.
