Everyone's told you it looks legit ... from the crappy photos it looks pretty legit to all the owners.

I've seen the really good replica airboxes from the States from the two group buys and the ones made by Chad and even those have some finer details that differentiate it from the real deal (even the generation 1 and generation 2 replica airboxes are different from that group buy - with the generation 2 much much better built and closer to the real thing).

Get the seller to send you some better photos if you are in doubt. Then again if you are buying something so expensive, I'd definitely want proof that it is the real thing or pick it up in person to inspect it.

Below are some better photos of a genuine airbox: get the seller to send similar quality ones and compare:

Yup looks pretty genuine to me.

Thanks guys. For the high asking price, and the fact i know little of the seller. That is why I'm asking you guys. I'll pm the seller, in any case.

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)
