You made a thread asking about legitimacy of a $2.50 spark plug??

Those are iridium plugs that cost about $20 apiece. NGK has a page about identifying counterfeit ones. If I remember the things to look for are lack of a lot number stamp on the hex flat, and crooked or off-center print on the ceramic part. The pictures posted look OK in that regard.

There's no reason to use these plugs in an old Civic. The $2.50 conventional ones work fine as long as you replace them once in a while.
