Message	also I am not saying everyone here should buy one because its functional, it is definitely true that 99% of the Zs don't need this level of aero-tuning, in fact most Z owners don't race their cars on a road course at all. All I am saying is that it has merits *other* than looks, and when people put down Pentroof for designing such an ugly kit, perhaps it would help to keep in mind that it was put together like that for a purpose. I have worked with Pentroof for a while now, and I know they are true enthusiasts and one of the best tuners around in Japan, they had a TD05 equipped Z32 running over 200mph way before anyone else had a big turbo kit for the Z32. They aren't that interested in making money, in fact I offered to source all my parts from them (instead from another company), and they weren't interested at all even though they would have made more money, their response was "we are a tuner, not a parts supplier". I have the highest respect for them, which is why I got a little defensive with all the negative comments in the last few days about their "ugly" body kits and high prices :) www.zedparts.com
