Wow jus wow.

No they didn't have the bar and no they didn't come in red.

That was the whole point. The seller advertised factory original package with Brembos. He goes out of his way in the ad copy to say the car hasn't been modded so I was fraudulently being sold something it seems he had to know about. With all the factory services he had on it, it seems hard to believe someone didn't mention it to him.

You'd think that if he didn't know, when I contacted him about it since this thread started he would have said so. Instead he told me to just to enjoy his fine car and not to contact him again. HA! Oh I won't, but my lawyer just might considering the cost to actually put Brembos on it! May be worth a fraud case in small claims court for the thousands I see them advertised for. Not to mention the "factory" installation cost!

Here's some reds ones BTW:

The ones you have linked are not oem that's why they go for about 3-4 K just for fronts as the are six piston with 2 piece rotors meant either for track or just showing off. Oem are 4 piston front. And 2 piston rear which are much smaller and can be found used for 1k for front and rears. New maybe 2-3k. From dealership. Don't take this the wrong way but from this thread seems like you don't know much about cars and this all could of been avoided with some research or maybe a inspection from a mechanic done prior to buying this car.

Bow, actually I'm a mechanic of sorts and retired tech but you are absolutely correct. Buyer beware. Also don't buy from craigslist, or from non-local towns where it can't be checked easily. I don't know squat about mods, customs and such but have done a few brake jobs in my day (even ones with shoes... )

I did research the brand/model/years and trouble spots and even looked at rotor wear. Had no idea fake covers even existed. The owner drove it to me to see (another red flag I see now) and if I wanted it he was leaving town on a bus.... Had a test ride, did a parking lot inspection, checked service receipts and took the rest on his word.

I only referenced the brake ad since someone said they hadn't seen red ones for a G35 and for prices in general on these jewels. Would like to see a pic of stock OEM Brembos from an 03-04 however just for gaining general knowledge on the subject.

Here's more pics for you Saywat and thanks everyone for the help!
