It looks brand spanking new. If you ever bought one of these before, you would know that is what they look like when they come out of the bag.

Yep, that is def a brand spankin new GM 3 bolt cam gear, I probably have 5 of them on the shelf at the shop that look the same as that one! Many have already mentioned the teeth are heat treated to prevent wear, hence the discoloration. The scrapes and scratches are normal from being tossed around in a cheap plastic bag, no biggy. Install and enjoy!


And Litle88: That doesn't count cuz its a 1x gear... those come shiny...
