Does this Z Have Potential? (2006 Redline)
In my opinion, I would personally pass. This car looks to "fast & furious" status for me. But agree there are some nice body kits out there. If you get that car it looks like you will be needing a 10.5 wheel to look flush with the kit. And I would replace the rear wing , then the car might look a lot better. Check car history also. A lot of times body kits are the result because a previous accident. And good luck man. I picked up a bone stock one owner 04 Z with 29k original miles for 13k cash. There's deals out there for sure!
I have not. The reasoning is 1. to try a RWD car, and 2. I need out of the WRX payments ($500/mo and theres a ****-ton of equity in my WRX). My girl has an SUV so I can buy a toy. The 07-08's are a little out of reach for what I'm trying to do which is buy a fun car under 18k.
Thanks

Just by looking at the car,there is a few things that are out of whack.
First,installing all these body mods incl the wing and keeping the OEM
wheels is pretty stupid.In addition,from the photograph it appears that
the wrong size tires are on the 18" wheels.Could be that the owner
thought a lower profile/wider tire would make the car look better.
It made it worse.The wheels&tires are out of proportion.The front does
look lowered?If it were
me,I'd replace the wheels&tires with 19's of an appropriate size.
This would help.Check my veh pics to get an idea of the size proportion.
I've got 19's.Th

The body kit is designed for a wide wheel and tire setup. It will look OK once these stock wheels are swapped out for an aftermarket setup.
The spoiler-wing is too much for the car. --Spike

Yes what spike says. The reason why these Wheels look tucked in is because it has a high offset. Once u fit this car with a low aggressive offset and some beefy tires it will stick out more
I think even if you put a larger set of rims on that car, either 19" or 20", it would still look off with that body kit, I would love to tell you to get it and hey if you love it by all means go ahead. But the truth is, the body kit does not add value, I would say going with a stock Z and modding it the way you like it would be the better bet. You may even get a better deal with it, some dealerships act like their car is worth more of it has a body kit (Not true though)
You said it... "In the past" Count for depreciation. Search and you will find.
just g37 powder coated 19s and borla and jwt glutch and my fat 74 year old ****....at least in can get into this car....the 370? forget it.....
