you cant always ID a true from false perc just by the color. theres many dif. theories as to what is the TRUE way to id them...but i had this same question answered about 2 months ago. But they all said you cant nessesarily tell by the lines

lol i really cant tell. I dont even know what mine are to be honest lol. they look like yours but they're a little lighter orange, and the lines are just a LITTLE thicker. But i've seen where people say that the more red they are, the more likely they're false.

ya i'm with dubbin...i dont think they're true percs, but who knows...they could be i spose.

where did you get them? lfs or a petco type thing? if it was petco or something similar, they're likely false percs/ocelaris...whichever you wanna call em'.

the lfs is more likely to carry true percs, but they still get lots of false ones too
