Any way to tell if I have Aftermarket cams?

I was wondering if there is any way to tell by looking at them whether the cams are stock or aftermarket.
Thanks

Easy, stock cams are hollow. All aftermarket cams I'm aware of are solid.

That and they say the manufacturers name right on them Honestly if you are putting cams in your motor you shouldn't be concerned on whether you could tell or not. You SHOULD be voiding any warranty associated with that by doing so. I love how everyone is trying to screw mitsu into repairing thier heavily modified cars. If you can't afford the game DONT PLAY IT.
