I've been reading a few online forums regarding fake Takata harness flooding on EBay and also online sale forums which look almost identical to the original version. From my observation, you can easily be tricked if unaware of the differences.
A genuine Takata Harness (Made in Japan) has FOUR (4) cross stitches where it sews together. And the fake version comes with (7) cross stiches. The expiry date on the fakes are almost always 2010. The green colour does not shine like the original version.
From the online inputs gathered, they came from Taiwan's OEM Takata factory without the proper packaging. Hmm, im curious from where Takata harnesses were actually made. From whereabouts i dont care but fake imitations on a SAFEty harness aint gonna assure your life.
Well i guessed these cheap, almost lookalike imitations are meant for their targeted buyers as long it looks JDM from a far or near and as long u pay 1/3 of the price. Some people say, cheap is gooooddddd as long it works. Besides JDM, we have TDM(Taiwan Domestic Market) and CDM (China Domestic Market) fans around the world.
Prolly if you sweat to much, it'll fade on your shirt. Who knows.
