08SpecB_DE Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 That's crazy! Now I wonder who else sells these fake spark plugs. I bought mine from RockAuto because they were a lot cheaper than my discount at work. The picture on RockAutos website has a darker tip and the lettering doesnt look perfect but the electrode comes to a point. I also remember the plugs having the plastic shield.

covertrussian Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Thanks for the heads up, now I wonder if my RockAuto ones are legitimate or not, and I didn't take any decent pictures before installing them. 05 LGT 16G 14psi 290whp/30mpg (SOLD) 12 OBP Stock 130whp/27mpg@87 Oct 00 G20t GT28r 10psi 250whp/36mpg 22 Ascent STOCK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
