Is this an authentic 16710 Pepsi bezel?
Is this an authentic 16710 Pepsi bezel? The 2's look like they are hooked. I've read that is a way you can tell it is a fake. What are your thoughts? Thank you.

While the 2 looks hooky the print quality also seems a bit fuzzy to me...strange uneven discoloration around the 12-14 too.

Yes, it is fake, and the part number is for a black insert.

Thanks for confirming my doubt! I told the seller I'm not interested, and that he shouldn't be advertising it as an authentic OEM bezel insert. I hope some poor chap doesn't get dooped. Cheers!

Fake. Real bezels can be had via RSC.
