Actually I dont remember how the 350z brembos looked if they had the bar at the at the bottom from of the caliper but the 350z brembos did come factory red but the g35 does not have that bar so I would doubt the 350 would have it. And those rotors look awfully small for the caliper.

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:

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.

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!
