No, just PPW with black interior. I was looking for the Persimmon however most of them where autos. I had a 40th but realized all of my cars will be white. When I pulled up to the dealer, she was parked outside and it was love at first sight.

If you feel like you want to change something on your car do it! It's yours, gradually you will find things you want to add or change. As you can see I do......

About the sun glass cubby, for me I got some felt fabric and cut out a very close shape piece to fit in the door panel(where the retarded cup holder is by your knee) I find I can slide my glasses in there and they don't really slide around if I'm not using them. I owe this one to the wife cause hers were getting scratched to sh1t! But she was also lazily putting them in on the lens or something stupid cause mine were fine originally, but it's even better now!

Finally a use for that spot.

The only time that space was used was at Sears Point for the instructors radio. I found it the next time I cleaned my car and returned it following month.

Just wondering if any others on the board have had this same thought?

I had that problem for a few seconds until I started it up at the dealership and heard the exhaust. So for me the mod thing was a non-issue. It kinda bit me afterwards though. That is the beauty of cars. You can make them into whatever pleases you. If you plan to sell later then you just need to keep that in mind as you mod. Otherwise, do what puts a smile on your face.

Especially for people with Nav they don't get the compartment in the front so there's even less areas for storage

You'll have a more agressive stance, slightly better handling and better exhasut note all while retaining a lot of the beauty of the Z in stock form

Perfect. I would just add sprint booster, steel brake lines and pads to the mix. This combo are great mods while keeping your Z mostly stock.
