I was reading around on the forum and was a surprised to see a few mentions of a GT Spec fender brace. I'm a bit confused because I dont see a fender brace for the G35 coupe at all on the GT spec website but when I do a google search, I see a few websites are carrying them with a Part # and everything(GTS-SUS-1370). Are these just discontinued parts or did GT spec neglect to put it up on their website? I'm pretty interested in buying them ^^
One of the websites carrying this part. http://www.autopartsdealer.com/gtspe...tent=APD477093
thanks for any info

The GT Spec fender braces are for the G37, they never made fender braces for the G35.

I just edited my first post with a link to on of the online stores that carries it. Theres a picture of it and it looks nothing like the one you posted. Its also listed for the 03-06 G35

That's very odd. Those aren't listed on GT Spec's website. I'm not aware that they ever made fender braces for the G35 Coupe, but others will chime in on this I'm sure.
EDIT: Here are a couple other places that have them FS.

I know ive seen pics of them on g35s..
I remember seeing a few mentions, I think dofu may be one of them but I forgot. Are the fender braces we see really for the 350z but are being sold as G35 braces to ignorant customers? I just looked at the fender braces for the 350z on the GT spec website and they dont look anything like the ones in the link I posted.
I'm interested in getting them but I dont want to take the plunge without doing any research. I sure a lot of other board members would like to know more about this also.
BTW sorry about posting in the wrong thread. Thanks for the move

The pic in the link you posted is being used for fender braces of all makes on that site. Its not specific to the G35 Coupe. I've been searching around here, on 350z and google and I haven't found anything that proves that these were ever made for a G35 Coupe.
ahh, i see. I might have misread a few things then. I'm still confused as to why theyre listed on those online stores but it could just be shady sales people.

Either shady or clueless. So many sites list items for Sedans stating that they will fit 03-06 Sedans when they really only fit just 03-04s or just 05-06s.
Yeah, true. Anyways, thanks for helping me clear up my confusion. You were a big help!
