Negative.

The EXACT one?
Because I KNOW it's Toyota, I thought they discontinued the touching one before the 2010's, just wasn't positive when exactly

dmhenderson · 02-21-2014, 10:12 AM

Anyway, my questions are:
-Is it really boosted? I would like to see under the hood. Not that I don't believe the TURBO badge but uh...I'd like to see it please.

-What is the purpose of the chrome tube-y things?

-What is SPORTZ? I googled sportz/florida/370z and didn't see anything. Is it a car club? A speed shop maybe?

-What is the purpose of the antenna behind the license plate?

It's the V6 badge we're hung up on when it appears he has a "turbo" sticker on it over the 370 badge?

And the door protectors that don't stick out farther than the door handles

The sad part, the owner thinks it looks good. He walks out to it in the morning and thinks he nailed it.

dmhenderson · 02-21-2014, 10:13 AM

Also what are the red doohickies on the doors right below the handles?
(PS I'm trying to be nice in case someone in here owns it)

I found it on reddit. I said I would reach out to the SE 370z community to see if anyone knew about the car - a long shot but I had to ask just...because.

I'll bet the plastic interior parts are all rattlecanned red too.

FPenvy · 02-21-2014, 10:16 AM

also DM i dont see the antenna fin on the roof so the antenna on the back could be a replacement?

dmhenderson · 02-21-2014, 10:16 AM

Nah. My '12 doesn't have an antenna fin and doesn't need it.

I won't be.

Attention: If this is your car, you have failed. At life, the universe and everything.

well i'm saying if he added something like nav or XM/SAT radio it could be the antenna for that even as the ungodly size that it is

The antenna gives his built in 1980's car phone reception

LMAO!!! The V6 disturbs me because he took it off a Toyota, not even went and bought the letters from VatoZone

Red things are door protectors as Chuck said

Props to you sir. I just looked at a pic of the tailgate and it isn't the same exact one.

-What is the purpose of the chrome tube-y things? So one can play bumper cars on the freeway when running all that boost.
-What is SPORTZ? I googled sportz/florida/370z and didn't see anything. Is it a car club? A speed shop maybe?Clearly the owner's own speed shop who created this magnificent work of art.
-What is the purpose of the antenna behind the license plate?When you are in the SportZ club you get your own CB radio so you can talk to all the other cool kids

I have XM/Sirius. The antennas for those services sit on your dash. They're little magnetic block doodads that sit on your dash on a stick-on metal plate.

I don't think that's a CB antenna.
