I e-mailed this person asking if i could see better pics but hasn't replied. here is the link. I don't have $200+ to buy them bran new. (please help)

LOL never thought about that. I found 3 people that bought tein's from him, but for other cars. I can't contact them for some reason not letting me. But they all three said great shipper, and great product. So hopefully they are real. Thanks Lew.

No, the s-techs I sold on here had the brown part. It is a bump stop. Based on the specs for each car, some need to have it trimmed, or removed. The Celi keeps all of it.

Someone posted a link a while ago that had the differences between a fake and a real one.

Thanks Rayme wink.gif I just bought mine from them. I went to there e-bay store that they have. and they sell the basics, the SS's, and the S-techs. And i think that since kurumamotering sells the good ones on e-bay then that should be the only person we buy Teins from on e-bay.
