Dude,

You hit in on the spot. I jumped from a base '04 to a '05 AT touring. I want to trade it in so bad, but I have done too to many things to it now.

Fun factor is a 8/10. If it was a 6 spd, then 10 for sure.

Yep...live and learn though...it's all you can do.

I got a bunch of Z mods just layin around the house because I knew I was gonna end up wanting to get rid of it. I managed to resist putting them on, and it paid off. Kinda of a crime to keep them layin here though.

A friend told me once: "If you are ugly, get the coupe." I went and got the roadster anyway. No regrets. If I get uglier, I will still get the roadster.

I had a coupe for two years, then bought this roadster, and I would never want anything else.

Absolutely agree about the spoiler on the Roadster. It really finishes off the rear end, eliminating the bubble butt look with the top up.

Dont really know what I could do to enhance the look of the LS, I love the 18's that the car came with, and would not change the rims. Dont really know what the spoiler would look like.

I think a spoiler is a neccessity. Even if it's a lip spoiler it definitely conceals the bubble butt syndrome.

Very nice. Makes it an entirely different looking car. Once I get rid of the sissy shifter and get the 6-Spd version, the Stillen spoiler will be the first addition. Looks kinda like the G-35 spoiler IMO.

What a difference even the lip spoiler makes to the ZR's rear end. That looks like a stock spoiler, but according to my dealer, there's no spoiler option available for the Roadster. I've seen this spoiler on a few different websites, as well as some eBay auctions. Where did you get yours?

Dutch, always like seeing your car man. Looking great! I just got a set of Nismos off Ebay this week. I should get that friggin spoiler already! You told me that the fit was about 98% when you first installed it. How's it holding up for you?

Spoiler looks good on the DB, anyone have one on an LS? Just wanted to see what it looks like.

Spoiler really helps the looks. So does a body kit.

Really nice Fairlady!! Of all the spoilers, I like that SPoilerdepot spoiler the best. Just put a set of Nismos on Friday, and they make a HUGE difference. How does your spoiler fit? Several people say not perfect but very close. Do you recommend it? Since it's my birthday today, I may just have to get it! Looks great in Silverstone!

The Coupe with the lesser weight, extra rigidity and looks is very nice if you track the car..

BUT, You just can't beat a hard-core run though the mountains with the top down and wind rushing by.
