Default Aftermarket Dipstick

Anybody willing to take on this project?... 29,000$ in mods and still running that pos dipstick that hits the piping and well, doesn't come out with the rigth oil level reading after a few attempts... everybody has dealt with it.....
Something a Lil more rigid and the "ring" where you "pull it out" somethign thick-er and chromish perhaps

if it's any consolation, one of my coworkers (who also has a Z), went to see the new G35 Sedan at some car show in Conn. He said the new VQ has a revised dipstick design, with a new stick and piping that comes up much higher than currently (the lady at the display asked him to stop playing with it).

Hopefully the extra piping is a bolt-on piece you can buy from infiniti along with the new dipstick.
