Good point, it's the BODY of the injector that matters, not the caps over
the tip, if they even have them.

you guys are all missing the fact that the tips at this point are
meaningless. All the reman units I've seen (from 5-0 motor sport as well as
autohauz az) come with green or baby blue tips, since supposedly thats all
they have available. Dont assume because the tips are the "wrong" color that
the injector itself is wrong. Look at the part number on the side.
my cleaned ones from Witchunter came back with brand new black tips, so I
have assume the reman outfitters are lazy and just buy one color in bulk and
run with it.
