I have been reading more and more on this forum about folks purchasing fake NGK Plugs, and counterfeit parts.
I really didn't think there was enough profit to make it worth while to make a fake $5 spark plug.
I was looking for some plugs for my Ford Escape on ebay, and rock auto just to compare prices.
My jaw dropped. The image on top is a legit seller. Notice the box and markings. Guy also has good ratings and is based in US. He sells motorcraft parts on ebay.
The bottom is a chinese seller. Take a look at the box. No where on it says motorcraft, but it uses the exact same graphics. Just where it should say motorcraft is blacked out.
