Smolk, my story is eerily similar to yours. Mine is a silver '04, bought late last year with 133k. The price was so good I figure I can do some decent upgrades and still have a reasonable cost/mile when I sell (or when the wheels fall off.) It is such a satisfying car to drive that I'm willing to put more into it if necessary without complaining. Drove it 150 miles earlier this week, 90% highway but some backroads too, and had 33+mpg showing when I got home. Nothing else can give me that combo of responsiveness, quality, and fuel economy for the buck.
I say part out the intake are strut bar (because i want them both lol) and then list the car slightly on the higher end so you have room to negotiate down a bit.
My advice: definitely part out any aftermarket stuff before selling. It may well detract from the value on a car of this age, especially a "special edition" car like the ZHP. A $1k strut bar certainly won't add anywhere near that much to the car's resale value, if anything at all. Style 135's? Yes, they're heavy as boat anchors. But they are also unique to the ZHP (in our market at least - used on other stuff such as the Z4 in Europe). So I keep them. If I were shopping again, I'd be looking for as stock a car as I could possibly find. Some aftermarket stuff is a legitimate upgrade, but a lot of it isn't of much benefit (if any at all). Just my 2c!
