Are these knockoff Helix?

Can anyone else who bought Helixes confirm how Chinesium these things are normally?

Box came from a private sale and was factory sealed but had no warranty information or literature in it. Also had literal chopsticks holding some electronics in the back for shipping. I’ve seen the chopsticks on photos from ECS as well. The logo on the sticker here just doesn’t look like the one on the photos is what caught my eye mostly.

Sorry I always have a messy work area that makes it hard to see anything and suck in general at cell phone pics.

I agree, from the pictures I've seen the logo looks a bit off and it seems to be missing information - Though I can't find a decent picture to compare. The 3rd pick of it head on looks right, interior plastic design matches. Sorry i'm not much help as I don't have a physical set to compare to. Hopefully someone can chime in or share some of their install pics.

Aye, from the front and inside front they look spot on. It’s the back end that gets dicey. Those words have probably been said before.

Took this screenshot from a mk6 install video for Helixes. Logo looks like the ones on mine. Not ruling out that we both got scammed. Or Helix just has some bad brand QC.

Helix is Chinese. Most of the body parts and lights you buy today are Chinese.
