Default Mugen, Genuine or Fake?

So last week I brought some supposedly genuine mugen pedals off eBay they looked real in the photos and even had a certificate to certify it, but now I have them in my hands I feel they're screaming fake because all the holes are slightly angled and on the back all the metal shards are still there, the quality of the brushed finish seems right and even though your not gonna see it the back still has the Ali finish not brushed, on the certificate it says "made in Japan" and "gunine mugen" apposed to genuine just wondering if anyone could help

most likely fake especially since you probably bought them from a non certified mugen dealer on ebay why ebay ??? you can differentiate fake vs real here MUGEN pedals. Real vs Fake. Have a look mugen parts are overpriced anyway.

They were fakes being passed off as genuine and I use eBay because they allow PayPal not something every site will, so I know I ain't passing my details to just anyone and plus they protect against fraud so if money does go missing I will get it back there are genuine mugen dealers on eBay you just gotta keep a sharp eye but even then they only supply for newer vehicle's no parts for a 15 year old civic and I ain't gonna judge your opinion on mugen I know they've been doing what they do longer then most and got access to stuff that manufacturer's like spoon and skunk2 don't

Since I'm in the UK £25, roughly $30 For fakes and managed to find some genuine ones for £40 but if you want quality you gotta pay for it, no fakes touching my car

sorry but there's no way you got genuine mugen pedal's for 40 pounds even genuine used pedals would cost way more.dude stop buying stuff on EBAY and find mugen certified dealers *** paypal.paypal recently changed there system to protect the sellers and completely screw the buyers. im not saying that mugen doesn't make good stuff im just saying its over priced for what it is.
