I first read your post wrong, thank you for the encouragement, unfortunately I have been seeing a lot of 2003 and 2004 ZHP's going for a lot less than $10k. I'm like you, I think closer to stock is better, plus I can sell all of the parts and recoup some of the costs to return the car to stock (refinishing wheels, buying new tires, a trip to a PDR guy, having some other work done, etc). Somehow I kept the car ding free for about 7 years and within the past few years she's collected a few of them. I don't understand it, its always by its self typically in a garage (school, private at home, shop at work). I hate to say it but I think a guy that was renting a room from me dinged it up in the garage with his POS car. Maybe not all of them, but I think a few. I would hug the wall and he would pull in like a fat slob. He is long gone now. I also think getting the car in nearly tip-top stock shape will help it find the right buyer I need for it. I won't just sell it to anyone. That probably sounds crazy, and it might be, but it has to go to a good home.

Strut bar is a black power coated mason engineering brace. It will probably be one of the last things to go because the roads here are insanely bad, I don't want to chance mushrooming a strut tower.

I don't quite remember what it cost or when I got it, but the paperwork is all in my ZHP binder at home. I think I've had it for a few years now, not that they wear out or anything.

First dibs on the strut bar when you're ready to let it go.

Don't do it. Just refresh your love for it.

Got a steal on some BBS CH's + tires. 18" 8.5 35et with 255/35/18 squared. Fronts are pretty aggressive but no rubbing so I can't complain!

What did you pay for the wheels? I'm wondering if anyone beat me as far as "lowest paid for CH wheels" goes. :)
