CCS Foam Pad from eBay: Fake, Imitation, Counterfeit?
Hello everybody!
I just purchased a 4" foam pad that was advertised as "Lake Country 4 Inch Orange Cutting Foam Pad CCS" but through comparison to my 7" CCS orange foam pad, there are two things that are different:
1. the recess/dent holes is different. it's a ring not a dent, looks like someone put an imprint prior shipping instead of during the foam construction at the factory.
2. the color is slightly off, lighter.
Please see attachment. I stacked the 4" pad on top of the 7" pad.
Second photo is up-close of 4" pad

I don't know...the dent holes are pretty uniform. They may be a little different on the smaller pads...does the texture feel like the 7 inch pad?
Then there is the difference in the color too???

I didn't pay close attention to the feel of the foam.
It's actually not very uniform. Not sure if it suppose to happen but couple of the ring just turns flat when I rub it back and forth.
I want to see if any mod can chime in since they handle a lot of LC pads. I don't want to conclude anything yet.

I'm sure if a mod chimes in he/she will tell you if you want a genuine LC pad, buy it from Autogeek, not from eBay.
These are manufactured items with tolerances, etc. Perhaps a different tool is used for the smaller pads, with different dimple definition, or perhaps it was more worn, or not at the same temperature, maybe the foam was a slightly different density (within tolerance).

I have a bunch of 5.5" and 4" CCS pads. As far as I can tell from the pics they look legit to me.

They could be factory seconds.

Re: CCS Foam Pad from eBay: Fake, Imitation, Counterfeit?
Those look legit, with any manufacturing process there can variance in uniformity for example when you fire up a machine or process on a Monday morning after everything has been shut down all weekend...

Are these with de-lamination issues like LC pads or any better?!

I bought it for under 6 bucks per 4" pad. I'll give it a try and see if those ring will be flatten out or not but i'm afraid it's going to happen. I mean, just by rubbing it last night, the ring is getting lost.
