As for this car... To each their own. That said I wouldn't spend 29,000 for this car, and I am willing to bet the reserve is around 32-33K. I don't see myself spending that much on a BASE Z. All that bling and no safety to go with it... nah, not for me.

WTF is a 350Z / 1R?

Z-Stalker
I was also wondering this, and I thought I knew alot about the Z

Default The car is nice. IMO

It only needs to new paint job, normal door, new rims, and well.. new suspension mod. That's all.

i dont see how this car is all that ricey.... i have seen alot of z's on this forum that people went gaga over with similar mods (i.e. lambo doors). the body kit and spoiler are not anything i would put on my car, but the car isnt in the class of cars with vtec stickers. i like lambo doors, but i would never invest money in them. yellow z's dont look right in any color imo. red, white, and yellow are the colors which are not metallic, and i think that the flat paint doesnt accentuate the lines of the z. just my opinion

That's actually the Vizage kit. But most of the Z community loves that kit too. Overall I think it's zweet a$$ Z. That's one of my favorite kits, and I think the rims are pretty nice looking too. I do think the Vizage in yellow is a bit bold, but still looks great (looks awesome in red and black). One of the better looking Z's on Ebay.

And if I could afford lambo doors, I'd have 'em too.

What's next?

Custom audio?!
Custom leather seats?!
CUSTOM RIMS AND TIRES???!!!

Where will the madness of tired, cliche'd mods that everyone is doing END???!!!

:: awww crap, I have all of those too ::

I just hope they don't do any engine mods. That'll be the final straw.

That car needs lots of stickers, this mod alone would easily add 50+ HP.

we should take a poll for what age range likes the car and who doesn't.

under 20
21-25
26-30
31-40
41-50
51 and higher

It doesn't look too bad. If it had an APS twin turbo under the hood and a new paintjob it would be sick. I don't think there's anything wrong with the looks, it just needs the performance to back it up.

That would be sweet.

I would personally rather buy a care that came with APS TT installed, especially if a dealer was selling it.

99.9% of the mods done to that car are "bling bling" mods. Still, if you like it, thats a very decent asking price compared to the work that went into it.
Agree... I don't think it is a bad looking Z... my problem would be that a lot of effort has been put in the appearance of being a fast car, but very little has done to make it anything more special than a standard Z performance wise. All the performance mods are simple bolt ons which offer minimal gains if any. Only significant one I saw listed were Nismo headers. Throw in some cams, a good exhaust system, plenum or do an FI setup with or without the previous listed upgrades and you'd have something there.

I wonder what the reserve is...

This Z could be alot worse. Could have 20" spinners. Huge parkbench for a wing. Unpainted (primed) parts. And a $60 Supercharger bought off ebay.
