Default Finally, a Ragtop!!!!

I was driving north onto I-5 (in San Diego) and as I look over to merge into traffic I see a daytona blue Z cruising along two lanes over.

Something looks different I notice but because it was a quick look over I was not sure, I look back (when clear) and after a couple of seconds I realize its a ragtop with the top up!

Looked nice, ALOT nicer than any picture has portrayed so far of the vert! It had a navy top that was close to the daytona blue color but maybe a touch darker. I believe it was a touring 6 speed because it had 18 inch non-ray wheels (no brembos).

Thats all, just wanted to share.

no, it was not me, I live close by but I have not been there in quite some time.

I am a bit older than that!

I do have a few tenants that go there though!

what do you mean "clear corners?"

Do you mean clear sidemarkers with LED's? If so, yes I did do it myself, not that hard but one side requires removing the bumper (some say it is not neccesary) to get it on/in.

I put the smoked sidemarkers on though, not the clear. (same difference though)
