You really should stick to jettas/golfs or hatchback civics. What the hell is with the useless roof rack that awful. I dont mean to be an *** or anything but why in hell would you get a Z if you want to put a rack on top of it. Get a 4 door econobox and be done, get that rack off the car and dont be stupid.
Its bad enough people are putting racks on their nice a4's and think it looks nice, stupidity comes before anything now days.

Why does it bother you so much that there is a rack on his Z? Maybe sports cars shouldnt even come with trunks anymore, since theyre only meant to race, right?

at you thinking the Z is some supercar. Its a ****ing NISSAN! Sure some people might take way better care of it than others but some people like myself just like the car and can deal with a few scuffmarks. If something that bad happened to my roof over a few years I could paint it and it wouldnt matter.

personally, i believe a car is to be used for your own personal reasons since that's what you bought it for. whether you use it on a track, or drive it up to the snow, each accessory you buy for it is obviously because you want it/need it. there's no reason to bag on someone for someone trying to be different and add their own personality to their car. if you don't like it, don't get it then. people actually use their car for transporting more things then themselves. to each their own i guess..

LOL, some of you guys are funny. Like I said before, the rack comes off easily and most of the time it is off. This is why I love trolling on my350z, lots of immature kids who are narrow minded. Aside from that, for those who asked, yep I do bike a lot and I do also have ski mounts and cargo box for it but that actually goes on my Tahoe, but it fits the Z's rack.
I commute far distances daily and its nice to bike in the morning before I start work. Its the convenience of having a usable daily driver. But I don't need to prove anything, its my car
Thanks to those who weren't too harsh on me.

Gimme a break dude. I'm just tired of everyone acting like the Z is some ****ing supercar or expensive german sports car. It is exactly what it is, a $30,000 Japanese car. I am not saying you should treat it like **** and I try my best to make sure my car is always clean, maintained, etc., but I am NOT going to sacrifice doing activities that make me happy such as snowboarding or skiing cause I chose this car. Noone in this thread is acting like VW ***s who throw 600$ roof racks on and never actually attach **** to it. These things are for occasional, practical purposes.
If you dont like roof racks on a Z fine, move on. If you dont like my wheels, hey fine, move on. Plenty of people like both. Trust me

I ride a fixie as well and have been considering taking the bike apart to fit in my trunk, but it will be a hassle to do it every time. the roof rack isn't bad. I like that there is one available for the z. although i wish the rack was more flush with the curve and the rail laying across it.

Would love to get more info on the roof rack and how you got it to fit. It's cheaper than insuring/buying/maintaining a beater
I'm looking for one myself but the boofsquire looks sort of like a fanny pack.

If you use the SkiRack then that's great. If you bought it solely on the purpose to make your Z stand out, then honestly it does just that. It really makes your Z look like Crap. Get rid of it FAST!

getting a roof rack for style is retarded. Took you multiple posts to say that you actually use it, so if that's the case then fair enough. Looks dumb and I'm trying to figure out if you can open your hatch or not, but if you utilize it then I won't argue with function.
As for everyone asking where he got it...looks like the standard custom Yakima, which can be installed by any Yak dealer.
