It will have "TOYOTA" stamped in the sheet metal on the underside of the front edge.

If it is original, it will also have a VIN sticker on it and emissions stickers.

Or a Toyota "R Dot" sticker in place of the VIN if it got into an accident early in life and got all new OEM parts.

Yup, it was the real deal. I picked it up for $160. I think I got a good deal!

Yup, can confirm that too... my hatch is an R-DOT part (replaced fairly early in its life due to a tree incident).

Great deal!

If you don't already have the Spiker strut kit, it's well worth it, especially for your sexy new hood:
