Default Roof storage

Hi all

I bought an '05 a few months back and love it...but hate the lack of room for anything...
I do like to camp and thought that there might be a roof top attachement appropriate for the 350z
If anyone knows of the best or right or available roof top carry-all in whatever configuration....rack...closed container...etc
I would appreciate any feedback...thanks
cheers

I'd rather see a blue Z with a stick-on blower than one with a plastic tub on its roof.

You might not appreciate this feedback - DON'T. Rent an SUV for the weekend if you are going camping, or trade cars with someone you trust - win/win.

1. Really? So you bought the sports car why?

2. Just rent a truck or borrow bro, Zs arent designed to haul anything but ***, cash and grass.

As usual, with enough money anything is possible.

Roof racks are not really do able. But a boofsqiere or whatever it's called will work to mount a carrier.

This will work if you can find one for sale.

I don't understand the hate from what must be very young owners. I have no problem with a bike rack on my Z to bring the bikes camping. Could take our Forester but I'd miss out on all the fun roads. Don't be ashamed of the storage unit, nothing beats a morning blast in the mountains after sleeping in a tent (after taking the rack off). Check out Jon Olsson's R8, the guy's a mad man but it looks awesome.

My Z has been down more dirt roads than most trucks. It's pretty funny flying by guys on quads in a lowered sports car.

Have you looked into stripping out the trunk? There is all kinds of space back there.
