Oh. My. God.
You bought this car at Fullerton Auto Square?
I am sorry to have to tell you this, but I checked out that exact same car when I was helping my friend look for his Z. When we got there they told us that the Z "wasn't ready for sale yet" but they let us look at it anyways. I don't know why they did that because it was a wreck. The g35 wheels were curbed to **** (as you can somewhat see from the original pic you posted). The airbag was missing (WTF?). The salesman told us that someone came into their lot and stole a bunch of crap from a lot of the cars there including that airbag. Then he said they were just going to grab one from ebay and would have it in within a week. (Ok....not something you want to tell someone you're trying to sell a car to) Also, the front bumper had these weird orange-ish stains on it. Don't know what was up with that either.
Needless to say, we walked away disappointed and without a Z that day.
When we got back my friend ran a carfax on it (he works for an auto insurance place) and it had been reported to have been in an accident. I guess that's the real reason why the airbag was gone.
That "dealership" really gave me the creeps too...everything seemed really shady and most of the cars had ridiculous body kits on them. It seemed as though half of them had been previously stolen.
Anyways, damn, that sucks! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Edit: Just double checked the AutoCheck (not Carfax) report we pulled on it...looks like there was actually frame damage. ****!

You said the vin doesnt match, are you sure about that?
The smaller pic I attached is the same picture of your car that you yourself posted earlier in this thread (I just copied it).
The other larger pic is what I pulled from google's cached servers. Note that the pic of the Z is the same. Also note the VIN number on fullerton's website. It is the same VIN that is on the autocheck report that we pulled. Sorry bro.

Sorry buddy, but I am 100% sure that you have this particular car in question. This car has the same rims, same mileage, same color, year, price, etc. as the car we were looking at when we were there.
