That is suspiciously cheap....
It says “ships from Ontario California,” but the seller is located in Hong Kong. The feedback is 99.6% positive, but it does seem too good to be true. I would order 8 at that price if I could be confident that it was genuine. Tbullet, would you update on the quality when they arrive?
hong kong ebay prices for oem stuff is usually cheaper, too bad it sold out already. Hope they post some more.

I ordered one to see what arrives. Will update when it does.
Just purchased 8, will report back. For the price of 2 from Camelback and just over 1 from the dealer I thought it'd be worth a try. Picture displays Toyota OEM so we will see
Completely agree. Will just hold these as spares for now
any true way to verify?
It does. On all parts.
I guarantee they are fake. They will have a sticker on the box that says "Made in China." Counterfeit Denso parts, especially coils, plague eBay.
Not that I know of. Maybe someone with more of an eye for this thing knows.
Fake Denso coils, all over Ebay and Amazon.
There is a whole thread about counterfeit coil packs: Need help identifying genuine Denso 90919-02230 coil packs from fakes
Hard to tell the difference but there are ways. Mostly looking at mold flash/joints/webbing, material of molded-in metal bushing, grinding/finishing of the bushing surfaces, mis/double-molded digits in the part number, etc.
The pics are likely different than what you’ll receive. They have no shame in deceiving you.
But the biggest tell is the price. Real OEM are almost never less than ~$60/ea. Looks like Jegs has a good price right now: Denso 673-1303: Ignition Coil 1998-08 Lexus, Toyota | JEGS

So, the coil came in today and here is what i received. The box and label look legit for what it's worth. For comparison, i'm including the original 20 year old coil i replaced last week. The one on the right is original and the left is what came from the eBay seller. Say what you will, but the shipping was great. Ordered Friday afternoon and it was here Monday morning.
Fake. Different font, thickness of lettering and depth of lettering on the coil. Having been in the electronics industry for 36 years, i am constantly fighting counterfeits from China. I spent over $15,000 in my business last year at testing facilities combating this problem.....
