Uh.... or.... maybe the previous owner got in a fender-bender and the shop ordered the wrong bumper.
Since they bolt right up, the shop or the previous owner might not even notice.

Yassy, I'm the second owner. My VIN on my title shows it as an X. A title goes by the VIN number which doesn't lie. Also I just punched in the VIN online. Here is the result below. Also I am attaching a photo with a red outline around the front bumper where I see what I would call a "vent"

Here is what my car comes up as when I punch in the VIN:

2006 Infiniti G35 Sedan x AWD

Vehicle History Valid Yes
Year 2006 Engine Type 3.5L V6 DOHC 24V
Make Infiniti Driveline all-wheel drive

^All of them have those two vents.
The normal AWD bumper has a small vent between those two, directly below the tag.

your car may have not been fixed right. it has the WRONG bumper on it. what happened to it that required front bumper. you best do investigation on this, it could of led to your crash...

This is the vent. Right dead center under the lisence plate.


All 05/06 g35x have this.

So either your car is not an x (doubtful) or the car was hit and the front bumper replaced with the standard rwd bumper.

My guess is the car must have needed a new bumper and they put a non X bumper on it. Thanks for looking out for me everyone!

I guess the car must have needed a new bumper and they put a non-X one on it. I bought it mint so what did I know? Car is going now. That's not what caused my crash I can say that for certain. What caused my crash was speed. Plain and simple stupidity.

I think it looks stupid IMHO, but my car is black and it's barely noticeable under the front plate
idk ive never looked on a g35x, thats just what i've heard thrown around as to why they have it and the regular G's dont
