Default $22 HKS BOV?

Are these knock offs or the real deal? Seem to good to be true at that price

If the price is too good to be true it's probably a knockoff, generally speaking. That said, the knockoffs have gone from crap to not-horrible in recent years from what I've heard.

At that price....buy 5 of them. If one dies, just swap it out with a new one every couple of months!

they are knockoffs.. HKS themselves has a statement on their site about knockoffs that you CAN'T tell between the two in the newest models. The ONLY way to know if its real is if you bought it from an authorized HKS dealer...



my friend got one of the new V3 SSQV BOVs and i looked it over.. the box AND the BOV look IDENTICAL to real, even has the holographic style logo that is on the real HKS..



scratch that, that one in that particular bid might be real.. its NOT a buy it now and they want 40$ shipping... you cant use starting bid as a final price since they shoot up in the last hours.. as it stands you would be paying more than I would ever pay for a BOV.
