Hey guys - Long time lurker, first time poster. I have a 2009 WRX and am looking to switch to a Z. I'm a sucker for the bodykit, and I think I found a car that I might want...However, the wheel wells look really awkward on this car. Do you guys think this could be fixed with adjustment of the suspension and new wheels, or is this just a horrible bodykit fitment for the car? Thanks!

***I really would love this car if I could "fill" the wheel wells up a bit more

Does the kit look too awkward to you? To me it looks like a kit that simply doesn't fit too well...but im no wheel/suspension pro.

I think people should do & like what suites them. I personaly like a clean/stock car. It has beautiful, balanced lines. All those body kits look like they are just hanging from the car. I also sometimes like to drive fast, and I'm sure all that hanging stuff catches alot of wind. A lowered car would also not be practicle if you really enjoy driving. You'll increase your chances of destroying the bottom of the car by a going over a rock, branch or a pot hole. Get a stock car

Why do you want to switch from the WRX to a Z? You should definitely be looking at 07-08 Z's. The earlier Z's are too slow. Have you test driven a Z?

The kit definitely looks out of place. The fender wheels aren't proportionate and look off.

id go with a 07 08 350zHR instead of a wrx so...if you are seriouse about switching to the dark side make sure its a 07 08 lol good luck

WRCREX

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

The 2007/2008's are worth it. Also, there are 18's Z in those years for under 20k (you can talk them down) in your area. Don't settle.

Thanks bro. I didn't realize because I had seen them for much more in the past. So...with that being said, how ballsy are the 07/08's compared to 06's? Is it that dramatic? Did they raise the compression or the displacement?

WRCREX

nevermind, I see there's a new motor. Thanks guys.

Last question - are autos worth getting in an 08? Or does the auto not hit the full power band

Did you notice I specified manual only in that autotrader search? Skip the auto tragic and go manual, it's a sports car after all.

In my opinion that body kit doesn't look good. I've seen some good body kits for the Z that still keep the nice flowing lines of the Z, and this body kit is not one of those, it looks distorted. Love the color though. But whatever tickles your pickle, I say get it!
