(I am the type that has no idea if the parts on my car was bogus or real other than the fact I search for original stuff and used. If it is new, I never bothered to ask a vendor if he had a license or not. I did not know I had to. So like the breather on my car, I didnt buy it from Laysons, but wtf, I dont know how to check that stuff. I am only me.
