I personally wouldn't use a strap-on rack on the Z. I don't feel that the rear fascia is a good mounting point for the kind of weight and pressure a strap-on type of trunk rack would produce.
I used this type of rack on my 2nd Gen Eclipse and I didn't like what it did to the rear.

The RoofSquire looks like a sound design, and I'm a fan of Yakima as I've used their racks on my cars for the last 20 or so years.
It even looks like you'd still be able to open the hatch with the rack installed... an area where strap-on racks are a disadvantage.
