Default how to tell if aftermarket?

I bought my car a month or so ago and it rides really good. Ive always driven fast and taken corners way to fast and this car is a champ. Colorado roads are crap and it takes the bumps even better. Previous owner bought it in ny, drove it here and then I got it. He said the guy he got it from said something about the suspension but he didnt comprehend what it all meant.

Where should I look for marks on components? Im hoping it is aftermarket stuff. Lol

Stock shocks just look... OEM. They have sort of obvious metal dustboots and ugly oem looking spring perches. And everything is all black.

Honestly I think the best would be if you could upload a picture.
