I think you got tricked, because I had an HKS sitting in my living room for about 2 months that I polished like 5 times so I know exactly how it's supposed to look, and it doesn't look a thing like your pic. Also as somebody mentioned above, the HKS doesn't have that hole drilled into the tip.

Sorry man, hope you can get this worked out with the original seller.

 

thanks for the info guys, i'm definitely going to call him up or perhaps visit his shop.

 

yes if you paid more than $500 for this brand new you got ripped

 

THE REAL HKS FOR THE 350Z DOES.

 

^^ i did not know that... so did you figure out if yours is real yet?

 

i called the guy he said he drilled the extra hole so it could "stick out more".

i checked the color of the tips after driving and the color did in fact change color. this is something the HKS knockoffs DO NOT DO.

THIS IS IN FACT A REAL HKS. thank god...

 

thanks, for your input. and yeah, the guy was kind of strange when i met him.

 

yea this is the real HKS for the Z, might look a lil tucked for the G

the tip adjustment is closer to the front, but the burn tips look clean.

good luck on sale
