good point...but how does that help me decifer if these are oe or not? pointless posts dont help people. If this is the only camera that I have, then what am I supposed to do? This is a forum where people come here to learn and to teach and give honest words of advice, if you dont have anything under the guidelines to say, then dont say anything...

Now since you, yourself have a b16, are your retainers chrome or are they a brownish color? This should determine if they are infact aftermarket or not yeah??
