Question About This Coupe's Front Bumper

Whats up everyone ive been in the market for a g for a couple months now. Im looking into trading in my 08 accord coupe for this g35 but there this something above the bumper vents that i have not seen before. I'm familiar with many of the after market fronts and i know this one is stock.

Thanks
Connor

Looks like rubber strips added with most likely 3M tape or something along those lines to protect from bumping another car I guess. I also noticed the Infiniti Emblems in the rear are way off center and the G35 letters are much higher then normal.

Take it to a mechanic for a pre-purchase inspection.. It was probably slammed in the *** at one point, make sure the frame isn't twisted to all hell!

badging is off too, wonder if the trunk was hit, then replaced and rebadged.

Check carfax and yeah- have a trusty mechanic look throughout the car.

+1 and those emblems are way off.. The front bumper is the OEM 05-06 sports bumper with bumper guards installed. Can easily be removed and returned to stock, same with the rear emblems. Overall car looks ok, and moderately priced if there was not an accident. Id point out the defects and try to get it closer to 12-13.5k, which I think is a more reasonably asking price for this particular car.

A couple more pieces and you could be just like this guy. I recommend doing the brass section style exhausts first.

What you are Seeing are very cheap very ricey autozone stick on pieces. I would buy the car just to rescue it from the current owner

Badging and dent makes me think something is off here. Price is really solid though. Find out if that warranty is transferable too after the carfax and whatnot.
