Nice looking car. I'll give you a bump and my opinion...since I always have lots of those 
As a friendly advice, one New England Z owner to another, you're thousands off on the price. Take this as honest advice as I have considerable experience selling cars and 2 of my friends are used car dealers. Custom upgrades on cars like 350z are usually worth $0 to a buyer. Most of the time, they actually push away potential buyers as people don't want to pay extra for those things. Stock cars sell best. No seller ever wants to hear this because everybody thinks their car is better and special but that's the truth. You're selling a Z in North East, in the fall, you have lots of upgrades and your price is unreasonably high. You have a lot to overcome. If you can sell it like this, I salute you. It will be a credit to your skill. If you're serious about selling it, wait until spring, return the car to stock and sell the car and upgrades separately. You'll make lots more money that way and you'll save yourself lots of frustration. Good luck.
PS. What is your mileage? I don't see it listed on the ad. Also, beware of scamers on craig's list. You usually hear from them within 24 hours of posting the ad. They usually seem very enthusiastic, they don't negotiate the price and want to send you a check with "extra" to cover taxes, fees, etc. If it sounds too good, it probably is. I stopped responding to those inquiries long time ago.

advice much appreciated.
im aware of the high pricetag and the way aftermarket parts affect pricing. i typically think 25% of the cost of upgrades is a good tally onto cars price then bargain down.
the reason the price is that high.... well im in no rush to sell the car but if someone is willing to buy it at that (still actually reasonable all considered) price ill get rid of it and move on.
as for parting and selling seperate, my last car (which i still have) was a turbo civic....i thought ill never sell this so i took the turbo and everything off and now 2 years later i FINALLY sold everything off of it (and i mustve lost 75% of what i originally paid cus i was bargaining to get rid of stuff)
the mileage is 50k i know its not displaying but i did try to edit it in.
