Default Need Help Identifying a side skirts.

Hey guys i purchased a pair of side skirts from a buddy of mine few months ago who used to be in the GS community, long story short i'm tryna confirm if the side skirts i bought from him are the "EXPLOSION" brand or replica as he claimed. I'm planing to sell these now and i just needed a confirmation if these really are the replicated brand or the real thing??? based on what he claimed, and i just wanna make sure that i'm accurate on what i'm putting in the market. I've searched around and i'm having a hard time if these really are the EXPLOSION sides, they look like a little off from the actual thing as far as the contour lines go since iv'e never really did a comparison until today...So any inputs would be appreciated...

BTW here's the sides

those look jdm to me since they don't have the thick layer of resin and the fiber are not the straight chopped kind. I could be wrong, if so someone please correct me.
