Going to fly 800 miles north to pick up my new Z (pic related). The current owner still has the stock hood. I am wondering if there is a way to safely transport a car hood on a 350z. Maybe using a back rack or securing it to the current hood with some padding in between?

Any suggestions? Seems like shipping it would be pretty expensive for a hood that is worth $350-$400.

Have him knock 300 off the price and let him keep the hood

>>17821116
I agree but it's a widebody that somebody else bit the bullet of having installed. I wouldn't complain if I were in OP's position.
>>17821089
Does it fit in the car at all?
>>
>>17820981
buy a roof rack and tie it to that

Unfortunately not since there is a 6 point cage in the trunk :/

>>17821089
How much are you paying for the car then
>>
>>17821241
Owner says 40k went into converting it from stock to its current form and that he bought the car for 11.5k 2 years ago. I am going to pay 16.5k for everything.
>>
>>17821285
Mod list?
Should be a 11k car w/ the wbk and cage.
Better have the cd009 tranny.

Can't tell if baiting or are retarded enough to buy someone's project trash
>>
>>17822160
not a bait. i would do most of those mods myself. car history is solid and his kit was installed very well. engine never touched.

>>17822093

>Car is probably slower than it was stock.

I don't fucking understand stance fags

Bucket seats+harness bar+6 point harness


This car has never and will never see a track, or even a fucking autox. Why do stance fags do this shit?
>>
>>17823050

at least it has air suspension, even if it doesn't perform as well it's usable as a daily and it gets them attention (which is what all stancefags are after)
>>
>>17823065
It went from Mid Night and street racing, to stancefags unable to get over speed humps.
>>
I honestly miss the early 2000's ricers. Yeah, the neon was gaudy, and the bodykits awful, but at least they pretended to care about performance...

Be sure to add the new car to your auto insurance before you get it. Make sure you are covered.

I'd fly with a trusted friend AFTER making a reservation on a U-haul or other brand of rental truck. I'd transport the hood in that. My trusted friend would drive the U-haul while I drive the purchased car because that's how personal car insurance works. I've added the new car purchase to my insurance. His car insurance would cover the use of a rental car such as U-haul and that way we don't have unnecessary cost outlay.

I'm guessing your underage because there is a kid with pretty much the exact setup except the car is white and 0 engine work, i dont get this fucking meme. id sooner own a rusted shitbox with a built engine then a stock engine rice bowl
>>
>>17823720
No meme to it. Car looks good = makes the owner happy. I can always put money into performance after my desired look is finalized.
