This is what they sell if you order a B8ES

tier supplier.  yup. bought similar at Advance auto last week. the main factory basically doesn't do the vintage plugs anymore. they have factories in other parts of the world after all.

And lots of fake NGK plugs on the market as well.

They are getting very good at faking them - and it's pretty tough to tell.

If you search "Fake NGK plugs" on YouTube you will find numerous videos on how to identify them and what the issues are.

yeah I don't mail order unless from economy,  yambits or the like. Amazon and ebay: no fucking way.

I've got some lightly used genuine Made in Japan B8ES listed on Marketplace if you want the real thing.

Thanks, good to know. Will watch more closely next time I buy, or better yet get them from Economy.

My recent purchase of BR9ECMs from a local auto parts chain says "Made in Japan".

I looked onto this. niterra is the parent company of ngk. its like saying a nissan isn't a datsun.

Fake plugs are all over the place. Best practice to get them from a reputable shop

[quocle603]

I just actually ordered them from online through napa for about 3 dollars a piece and delivered to the shop for pick up. Got 4 of them! Surprised they had them still since they are all converting to BRES plugs.

I order B8ES from the Dealer for about $4.00 per. They show up in Honda brand boxes lol.

I think I'm good on plugs for a while.
