Default Hardtop for roadster???

I have searched this site and scoured the internet and have found nothing. Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket hardtop for the 350z Roadster? I would rather not put the soft top through winter conditions if i dont need too.

Completely agree - removable hardtops are a spectacular pain. My wife has had the last three Merecedes SL series, and the latest with the folding hardtop is totally worth it, practicality-wise. I do not miss the summertime garage obstacle course at all.

Besides, the 350Z ragtop is pretty tight and the climate control system is way more than enough for such a small cockpit.

It took G37 2 years to get a foldaway hard top. I'm sure it will take 370 the same years to get one. If any at all.

I hope the Z roadster chassis is not stretched from current just so a folding hardtop is available. I also hope they do not reduce the trunk space any more than current.

I would like to see a traditional dash glove box in addition to the current storage bins.

You heard wrong. Seibon copies fatory spec on their hardtops. I called. They said, "Until Nissan makes one, nor will we."

Sucks I know because I can't track my Z without a removable hardtop.

Seibon is not making one, Chris Forsberg had one on his drift spec Z roadster, but haven't seen it in awhile. I wanted to get it and replicate it.

If there was a hardtop for the Roadster, especially let's say in Carbon Fiber, I would definitely purchase.

Dont mean to bash you OP, but a hard top for a roadster? If you wanted a "hard top", you should have just bought the coupe. It does make for a good conversation piece...
