Arrow FAKE Cusco oil catch can

Hey guys I bought mine from eBay and thought I should let every know its fake and what to look out for. Main give away is poor quality almost rusted brackets and on the catch its the chrome finish instead of the polished finish with engraving.


Link to the article I found. Even though my packaging matches and Cusco logo is not upside down its a clear fake I can post pics if anyone is interested.

Don't Buy Fake Shit! - A Close Look at a Fake 2pages


Moral of the story stick to car-mods and rally-sport direct if its too cheap don't do it!

Sorry in advance to the people that may realise their can is fake.

But Chinese counterfeiting PISSED me off.

I don't think people understand how many things China has copied/counterfeited. Almost anything you can think of, you can get. And you can get incredible quality also, right down to exact mirror image packaging, receipts, certificate of authenticities, serial numbers etc. They'll even do the store shopping bags to complete the look. eBay, gumtree etc. are full of it, i'd never pay new or close to new prices through these sites unless the discount I was getting over somewhere I knew was legit was worth the risk of fakes.

In saying that, I've bought fake things before that have actually been quite good - but they were a lot cheaper than the price for the real version.

Yea i thought it be legit because he has sold over 4500+ Items with 100 percent feed back people might just not pick up on them..


But even so being a fake i could hear rattling inside like as if something was broken then saw it had metal chunk derbis in it so something must have broken during transport i blame seller for not sending it in a proper box with bubble wrap.


If he dosen't give me a refund ill be disputing it for sure with paypal.
