    I bought a pair of OEMs from Dirt Fab. The retainer clips were silver opposed to the black colour in your pic. No idea is this is a legit tell but buying from a reputable known vendor may be better option for about the same price.

    eBay is notorious for knock offs. But I have plenty of these in stock!

    eBay depends on the seller. If it's a Japan-based seller with large amount of positive feedback, it's probably legit.

    In this case Amayama shipped from Japan is slightly cheaper than eBay?

    I've never heard of Amayama so I'd be suspicious of both, personally.

    The seller had great feedback and people specially said the LBJs were legit so I went with those. If they’re not I’ll return them and use Anamaya. Anamaya gave me a scare with price because they said it could jump up due to tariffs
