I agree. I'm 90% sure those are Akebonos.

but again, it's an unknown rotor. And in most cases, it is always wise to buy a used car as OEM as possible.

I know the rotor itself is not a big deal, just leading me to imagine how the previous might have 'treated' the car. You know, try to make it looks well packaged by putting some cheap stuffs on the car the drive it like a rally.

Hard to tell but it looks just like a stock Nismo with the addition of a few mods I wouldn't have done... such as the painted wheels, painted (or 40th Ann) calipers with the wrong logo, and the hood which I can't tell if it is black or CF.

If it were me I would be a bit concerned with the quality of the decisions but the thing does have only 16k on it. Then again the first 16k driven hard especially with an 09 that is prone to oil consumption may lead to issues... is the warranty up on it? What is under the hood or haven't you personally examined the car.

EDIT: Read the posting... see that it has intakes, the hood is Seibon, and there is a 100k mile warranty on the powertrain... IMO you might be ok with this one (after removing the brembo decal that is).
