check for the tension bars behind the bumpers, the extra reinforcement welds ( i dont know where specifically), the exhaust, stitching, vins on all the parts, the fins on the cover of the rear diff. Most of all these parts can be purchased aftermarket but if they are all consistent i would rest my mind about it being authentic.

Travlee9374: IIRC, '07 & '08 were consecutive through 1,6XX, from '09 + each year started at 001.

Just missed an '07, had been sitting on the showroom floor through Sept. '08. Sold at base price two weeks before I decided to commit. Drove off with an '08 Nogaro Red instead.

Mytramp: Truly hope you've an authentic Nismo, interested enough in your predicament to have Googled your VIN #. Pics online from prior dealer show authentic cockpit details, exterior wheels/aero are correct.

I bought the car from Mission Mitsubishi in San Antonio. He acquired the car from an auto auction. if the badge was still in the car at auction, then some p.o.s. porter prooly stole it outa the car....???? This car has been to three different auto auctions in its history... First time it had only 97 miles on it.... this info I was able to retrieve from a carfax. BUT...... NOBODY in the freaking world is able to tell me the damn SERIAL NUMBER to this car.....
absolutely boggles my imagination!!!!
