Question about the GMPP red plug wires
I bought a set of the 12495519 GMPP red plug wires, and mine have no markings on them at all, except for DEED in raised letters on the end on the plug boot itself. I just want to know if thats what others have gotten, in a plain white box, with a General Motors label. I don't want to be ripped off with counterfeit parts. Thanks
Oh yeah, are they supposed to have metal protectors, ordo you reuse original ones?

Mine have the DEED on the angled boot in addition to the straight boot. Wondering now. Most GM or Performance parts stuff has their name noticably on the parts.

The box is white cardboard, and has a "hanger" so it can hang on a peg .... it has a label on it that has the GMPP logo, the part number, what looks like a SKU bar code, and "Assembled in Canada" marked on it also. The same label is also affixed to the end of the box.
Yes, re-use the metal shields.

Thanks guys,
Guess Delco/Delphi/ whoever makes them is using different suppliers or maybe GMPP is outsourcing them now. I was just surprised at there being no logo markings on them, unusual for GM parts, and since I bought them for the quality/reasonable price, I wanted to be sure I hadn't gotten counterfeit parts. There has been a big problem with that in the past, but not usually thru dealers. Quality of construction is really the only difference between plug wire brands, of course there are the different types, carbon suppression, spiral wound(which original GM has been since 95 at least), and solid wire.
