#327537 Here's mine: http://www.civic-eg.com/viewtopic.php?t=956

Yours uses a different typeface for the logo, holes are a little different and the edges just don't look as finished as they do on mine. I'd be suspicious :eh:

(mine is darker because I painted it)

#327831 Fake or not it'll probably do the same thing - so long as all the brackets are there the actual brace is just a flat bit of aluminium...

#327833 Might consider upgrading the hardware in the future to 10.9 or better. 8.8 is the equivalent of grade 5.
