From what I read.. the ones ISFAdam bought were fake (which are the ones with batch codes that match yours). He was able to get his money back and the seller was reprimanded by ebay.

Kinda sad that we have to do all this digging just to see if a part is real or fake... lol

I'll let you know what Denso says. I opened all of mine and they all look identical to the ones that he bought from the dealership. I still don't understand the batch code deal and why they are missing but I'll be finding out before installing them. Hopefully Denso contacts me soon and I'll let you know what they say.

Actually, this is very confusing. After rereading post #8, ISFAdam said he was promised what I had (1st pic with CZ20 code as my plugs), but he was sent something different. What he was sent did not have the "dual tip electrode". OEM's should have the dual tip.

Further in the thread, at post #32, the guy says the middle plug is a fake, and it's similar to what I bought.

Frankly, I'm going to contact the Ebay seller and get some input from him. Still looking forward to your feedback from Denso.

I'm definitely interested in what they both say. Denso sent an automated response so they got my message. We'll see I guess. Post up what your seller does.
