Discoloration on OEM Mitsu T-Belt

[Spoolin18]

Well long story short, I ordered all oem mitsu timing componets except belts. A little later down the road I'm having to change the Timing belts because of seperation of the generic belts...... I ordered Brad new OEM Mitsubishi Timing Belts from MAP. I recieved them a few weeks ago, glanced at them, now I'm ready to put them on, except now I have noticed the cam belt has a slight discoloration in the middle all around the belt. Its brand new, teeth looks good, it looks good other than the discoloration. Never been out of the plastic, the discoloration looks a little lighter in person, I have provided a picture in my gallery, Is this normal, and will it hurt to run it? Thanks.

As long as you don't see any physical damage, I'd say you'd be fine.
