I can't ever find a pair of shades that fit me right. I have a narrrow face/head and that proves to be a ***** when trying to find a pair that fits right. Anyone have any suggestions?

Do you wear underwear when driving your Z?

But saving money FTW.

Cheap $20 dollar glasses work for me.

If I have my contacts in I wear my sunglasses. I wouldn't say sunglasses in a Z are a must though...

Again you are just being very arrogant in saying that anything under $300 is garbage. Again I am not talking about Wal Mart glasses or anything, but a good pair of Maui Jims, Costas, and most Oakleys will outlast and outperform your "designer" glasses. You are paying more for the name than anything. Just because your paying $300 doesn't mean your getting $300 in quality.
so very true!

I used to buy 20 dollar glasses but I always lost them. I bought a more expensive pair (yes name brand but at a damn good price) and I've had them longer than any other pair. If I add it up it probably saved me money buying one expensive pair.

Yes, I do, specially since I live in FL and wearing them is pretty much mandatory, unless you want to end up with a bad case of cataracts. I wear Oakley M-Frames with Black Iridium lenses. Planning to buy a set of Half Jackets with Fire Iridium Lenses to replace the Minutes I broke. I loved those.

I only wear them when it is very bright out. I hardly ever wear them while driving because I usually forget to bring them with me, doh!

I have noticed that I don't wear my sunglasses with the Z. Other cars I have (and past ones too) were still pretty bright inside even with tint, but I have noticed that it is noticeably darker in my Z (20% tint all around) than my other cars. I think it has to do with only having 1 set of windows on the sides.

Sun Glasses and black leather driving gloves goes really well with black streeing wheel, leather drivers seats and leather shift *****. Along with a pretty sunny sky ain't nothing better then driving around knowing that ain't nobody bad like MEEEEE!!!

Might as well looked the part, dress for success they say.

Sometimes I'll past a large widow front business and think damn that dude looks cool as hell in the 350Z, I look again and hell that's me (sometimes it another cool a$$ MFer in a Z when I'm in my Jeep).

Pretty much when the sun is out I wear shades, especially driving. My eyes squint badly with all the UV rays. Much more of a safety issue to drive rather than style.....but then again its good to have both protection and style in my Z

Yes it helps me see the best I can while driving. I also like the yellow lens for fog or real dark nights. They enhance your vision try them.
