Looks just like mine, & mine came in a sealed Toyota parts bag w/ sku # , so if it is a fake, they must have done a good job...

Looks like mine. I think you're ok.

Even if it is a knock off it looks real enough to fool me.

It did not come in a Toyota anything it was just wraped in bubble wrap. Although the auctions said Toyota... Well thanks for all your help and opinions and where did you get that bB emblem wyldkard???

I wish I could remember....some company in Cali was going to make front and rear CF bB emblems and I got a pair free for sending them mine to use in the molding process. The rear one didn't look as good...so I didn't put it on. I think the company was selling them for $40-50 each. Anyways...it's kind of unique b/c I never see anyone else with one.

bBist was carrying the Carbon Fibre ones for awhile. We had some in our parts dept...the manufacturer stopped making them though. Pity, I like the CF a lot.

Then again, someone else probably is making them.

Make me an offer. I don't know how much it's worth b/c they're so rare. Make an offer and I may consider it.

I'm sure this is a stupid question, but where does "bB" come from?
