Any suggestions? From anyone here honestly, I know I'd prefer to put some performance in before look since the Z in itself looks good, but I'm not opposed to any suggestions.

Nice looking Z.
I would read this first to get a clearer vision on what your goals are.

I went with wheels, tires and suspension first.

I would suggest in this order; clay bar, sealant, glaze & finally wax.

Congrats, A hardtop was never an option for me. If the Roadster didn't exist I would never own a 350Z. Very few around compared to hardtops and when the tops down the lines are awesome. Debadge and watch how many don't even know what it is.

Congrats. I personally am not a fan of the roadsters but it does look pretty nice.

Personally I think the targa top 350z looks like s#it.
It can only be a Roadster or Coupe.

Well I'm saying if Nissan actually designed the car to be a t-top or targa top I am sure it would have looked slightly different.

Yeah it would look like the old Z31s. It had that support beam down the center.
I used to have one of these. I wish I have never sold it.

Nice Z. A plus side is that the convertibles have a regular trunk as the hardtops have a hatch and when I put my top down at the Jersey Shore (RIP) all the girls would hollar at me.

I would consider the trunk as a disadvantage. The hatch has much more space (still barely any space though) compared to the roadster.
The only plus I see to this is security, but then again I never valet my Z so I don't have to worry about that.
