Default I'm confused about what trim level my Z is...

So i bought an 03 Z about 2 monthes ago off of craigslist. The owner told me it was a base model but i'm not sure if that is right because it has the TCS system and rear spoiler. It has the basic 17" wheels and it does not have the brembo brakes. I have cloth seats that have air bags in them near the headrest i believe this is also an add on from factory?

Well can anyone help me out?

You can help yourself out by reading the Top 100 Question thread linked in my sig. There is a post in it on the issue of identifying trim levels.

I will tell you that if you have TCS, then it's not a Base. Sounds like an Enthusiast, probably with A/T.

I used to enjoy “What model is this? until I found this reference:

Now everyone can figure it out.

Easiest way to spot a Base is there are no cruise control settings on the steering wheel.

most likely is an enthusiast trim; based on your description of the car...

one thing i've learned from many forums: it dont matter if you state you are a noob people will still give you a hard time if they can find something in the forum and you cant.

Remember there's a search option you will find a lot of info on it...

maybe you got a much better end of the deal there since that's definitely no base model
