Exclamation 350Z Roadster Spotted In L.A.

The woman & I were out cruisin' in the Z today & spotted a convertible Z in the distance. Wanting to see how bad the "chop job" was, we caught up.

To our surprise, it is a factory 350Z roadster, with manufacturer plates! The "NISSAN" and "350Z" logos were blacked out.

I-10 E in LA, National/Overland Exit. Check it out!!

I'd have to say I'm a little disappointed by the looks. But that was the same 1st impression I had of the coupe, which I now think is the coolest car in years! Soooo I'm willing to let it grow on me, but, in the meantime, I'm placing my order for a track on Monday.

the 10 east/west and 210 east/west are my daily routes when i go to school. i spend at least 30 minutes on that freeway going one way. why do i never see anything cool like that? well, at least i saw one of the guys from the hip hop group black eye peas in his rx300 once, but other than that nothing exciting. anyway, cool pictures!

Exclamation

jeez I'd never know it was a Z or a Nissan. Interesting that they have a Michigan Mfr plate on it, think there is any significance to that? Jmanz?

On the contrary, he was trying to ditch us once he saw the camera. We had to keep on it to stay with him, so he exited and eventually lost us in traffic on surface streets.

It was a rad little Z chase...

I can't see the logos since they are blacked out... what kinda car is that?? Whoever the manufacturer of the car, they did a good job covering it.
Looks like Photochopped to me..

Looks like it has the 17" wheels. Must be the enthusiast version of the roadster.

Who the heck cruises in a vert with the window up? Looks retarded!

As for the car, I'm soooo glad I didn't wait for the vert, the *** end looks like it could've been done better. I wonder how it looks with top up? Does it have a glass or plastic window?

Thanks for the pics!
