Default 350z with 19" Linea Corse and a Yakima Roof Rack (O.o)

Hey guys,
I've had my Z for quite awhile and never had the opportunity to take pictures of it. Before this car, I've owned a 1978 Datsun 280z (with 77k original miles and a mint condition interior) a Dodge SRT4 with 300whp and an Eclipse GSX with 400whp. I regret not really taking pictures of those cars, so for my Z I'm trying to take as many as I can. A buddy of mine recently purchased an M3 Convert, so I decided to take some pictures for him.

At any rate, my Z has something different...a Yakima bike rack on it. Most of you will probably hate this, but I think it makes my Z stand out a bit. But its removable and its off most of the time.

My future plans are to lower it and do a Nismo V2 kit..

These pictures were taken quickly, so they are not the best.











And my old Datsun's interior.

I've never seen a roof rack on a Z. I like that it's removable. I added a hitch receiver for my bike rack/ if I need a wheel trailer; I wish it didn't show all the time.

You must ride your bike a lot to even consider putting that on there... But your wheels are nice..

How fast can you go with the roof rack? What's the point of having a roof rack when you don't use it. Like the wheels.

I'd be interested in knowing more info on the Roof Rack not for styling purposes but because I actually Mountain Bike a lot and do not have the luxury of having an SUV.

Can you rig up a snowboard ont hat roof rack? The only rack ive seen for snowboards is one that mounts on the rear hatch and it looks hideous.

I love the roof rack and I am looking for one myself like yours, but your car really needs a drop.

Ehh, just because a car is a couple doors short doesn't mean the ski rack would look bad. Back when I owned a BMW some guy on bimmerforums.com had a ski/bike rack on the roof of his Z3 Mcoupe and it looked badass. Pretty ignorant to say roof racks only belong to "EVO/STi and "4 door Euros" Because I've seen plenty of clean VW R32 and GTi's rockin' the roof rack and it looks dope!!!

Personally though, I like it, but don't at the same time. Just something about it seems awkward. lol

possibly one of the best wheels from wheeldude. OP's wheels, and a couple other are the only wheels from wheeldude that I really like. Gotta admit, they do make one of the best replica wheels

P.S. To OP good choice on the rack, one of my roof rack. And really lovin' the wheels.
