It looks off, i know there have been supposed prototypes floating around. However this looks sketch, anyone else have any input on this.

What's leading you to be suspicious about it?

The horns/trumpets are green instead of yellow, the front air collector looks different then all CSL airbox's I've seen even in person. Missing the motor for the flap, and the flap itself. Also even though the part numbers match, the bmc filter I don't see how it would fit looks to be a different design slightly.

This is what its supposed to look like...

This is what it looks like in the ad...

looks 100% genuine to me.

It is also a 09 production batch. I've seen only 2 batches, the 2003 production batch that came originally with the CSLs and they probably made spares

then the 2009 production batch which has a different sticker and that's the one you see here.

it is 200% genuine.

however it is only 2 out of 3 pieces. It has the intake plenum. the part that reduces to the flap. but it doesn't seem to come with the part after that (the flap and the openings to the ducting, that part doesn't come cheap either)
