i purchased an emblem from one of the members in this forum. This is NOT a dogging on a member but rather, a concern. I purchased a JDM emblem from this person claiming it is real OEM 20$ (probably my fault) but was wondering if this is a real one or in fact a fake one. Can you please help me out? I’ve watched videos on YouTube but I’ve never seen a real one or felt the difference in my hand so it is hard to tell. Here are some pictures

A bunch of bubbles near the back edge clear part... gonna assume it’s a fake. Really hoped the forum dude was legit but guess not

The backing and label look legit if you have a bar code scanner scan the bar code and see what it says. Should give you the part # if real.

Unless honda changed the packing for the emblem, i have never seen a piece of cardboard to hold the emblem in place

Well, the packaging is fake. Seldom does Honda mess up its own logo and use incorrect grammar. These are subtle hints but they're there:
