Hello. My friend grabbed one of the original cz-usa imported VZ-58s back around 2008 or so. It's been a good rifle but he was entertaining the idea of selling it.
I know the aftermarket parts don't mean much for value, but can anyone ballpark these? Im sure they're worth more than the Century imports, but are they valued as well as the czechpoint ones?

BASIC QUESTIONS:
What is his asking price?  
What condition?  
What accessories are with it?
How many magazines come with it?

QUESTIONS WHICH WILL DETERMINE WHAT YOU PAY:
How bad do you want it?
How desperate is he to sell?

Well, I was going to operate with the idea that aftermarket parts don't impact value in a positive way and was just curious what the cz-usa imported guns were valued at. Gunbroker seems to only have what I think are czech-point offerings.

What condition?  Very good condition with approx 300rds fired
What accessories are with it? At this time, 5x factory aluminum mags, fab grip, some kind of m4 stock adapter with magpul stock, mix match handguard (lower made by X upper made by Y). Offering co-witness using a red dot
How many magazines come with it? Think it's 5

had him send me a couple pics. He'd be keeping the Aimpoint Micro and flashlight most likely.

You sure that is a CZ import? The reason I ask is that it looks black. My CZ import VZ 58 is gray.

picture does make it hard to tell, it's grey in person.
The import stamp on the side however says "tgi knox tn"

it came in a cz usa box. My google fu seems to indicate this was common for the time frame?

I'll take some pics of my CZ VZ and the box and post them later tonight.

ETA: The gray finish is the correct color for the original gun.

I went to the blue book online and bought the entry for the vz 58.
Looks like this:

It is. Look at the safety.

Century safety swings back the other way.

Forgot to update this thread. My friend sold it for $1400.

Yes he sure did.  I have a CZ58 Czechpoint import 556 pistol that has been converted to use AR mags (with factory adapter) for sale at my local FFL for $850 and no bites so the market is quite soft at this point.
