The boxes are very flimsy to begin with. The pads look correct to me.

They look good to me also, they have the triangle with the lettering in it which indicates original equipment.

Exactly the same pads as I installed earlier this year....My pad boxes didn't look much better than that when my shipment arrived and the shipping boxes were in good shape. Looks like you're good to go.

Porsche has never been know for the packaging... The are factory pads. The triangle with the P in it means that it is a Porsche exclusive part. Textar pads sold in the aftermarket do not have this symbol, and are a completely different pad compound.
