Hi do you guys think these plugs could be fake? The packaging was just like this but if they are fake they could do serious harm to my engine. I own a 16 Gt 5.0 premium. Thanks for any input in advance. Rich

I unknowingly put some fake Motorcraft plugs in my focus ST… They lasted 3000 miles… The packaging was very convincing… No more EBay plugs for me!

Don't buy auto stuff like plugs on Ebay or Amazon. Usually get shit parts. Used, fakes, etc. Don't chance your ride

They were packaged just as pictured and with the proper markings and part numbers, but I am going to buy ones from a legit source. Thanks

Sometimes worrying about price over quality isn't the smart thing to do.
Buy them from the dealer and there is no question you have the real deal. Sure, you're probably OK from one of the big name parts vendors but with OEM from the dealer you know.
The old saying "buy once cry once" often has validity.
