Default NGK Plugs

What do you guys think?

is the yellow box fake version of V-POWER plugs?





i bought 40 sets from the US.
and i compared it to the ones we have here in the philippines.

looks very different!

i emailed NGK already. they haven't replied yet.

U.S. packaging is different... your plugs are legit. I am running these as well...

thats what i thought,
but the spark plugs that are sold here locally have goldish/bronz coating instead of the silver one.

When I was in retail parts I would see both types of boxes and plug surface finishes.

The yellow boxes are an older lot. The gray/silver/white boxes are of newer marketing design.

As for the metal finishes for the main sparkplug body I saw both and we were getting them directly from NGK's warehouse.

I think if you look at the NGK website you post the non-centered label on the plug would probably be the big indicator of a fake plug for sure.
