looks like an egg in the second pic, sorry, can't help u on this one.

 

There are so many imitations that it's really hard to tell. The only way that I know of is to see it still sealed in a honda bag.

you can also tell by the price.. but who cares?

If you want a real one buy it off a type R owner or the dealer...

Its just a piece of metal with some writing on it... they are all the same..

 

i just bought this, guy said it was real oem. but i'm not sure and was hoping to find out one way or another. i don't wanna pay for something thats only worth $15.

 

I got one off of ebay that looks just like a real type R for 5.95 plus 2.00 shipping. Looks perfect, except that the numbers are sideways, meaning the diagram is 90* to the way the shifter moves. Other than that, it's awsome. Might wanna look into that.

 

a real itr **** has a lil shine and weights almost 1 lb.
example



the one i'm seeing is grainy (rough surfaxe) which looks very fake..

 

i have the same one its fake............

 

thought i had seen real ones with both finishes, depending on year and where it came from

 

I think yours is fake. I have a real one that my friend jacked out of an R from a dealership, and it doesn't have a grainy texture like that. It looks more like the other pictured.

 

Fake! I have one laying around just like that, its a little bit "grainy" to the touch, and relatively light right?

 

I had a fake one for a while, it's grainy and light. I now have a skunk2 ****, same design and function as the type r, at a fraction of the price.

 

yeah, definitely fake. the oem one is sooo smooth, looks polished.

 

just get a skung 2 **** cheaper and feals good but i change ***** every month it seem like from the skunk2 to the stock gsr with red filled in the 135
24R holes? and my razo ****?

 

i wouldnt worry about it man, whos actually ganna call you on your fake type R shift ****?

 

Mine's fake and smooth.... but I know it's fake, hell I painted the red in with touch up paint so it matched my car color

I got mine from modacar. looks exactly the same

 

Yup Faker...

I had the real deal one it was shiny and smooth, heavy like a **** though, but loved it while I had it. sold it to a friend, then it got jacked.

word - mines was an ebay specail...I wonder what happened to it?

 

can't go wrong with the skunk2 for the price

 

the imitation one is lighter and when u install it you feel like your going to break it. personally i like a shift **** with a bit more weight, i feel more under control!

 

well, the weight gives you more interia (whew, physics) that helps cuz it doesnt take as much force to get the car into gear, kinda does it under its own weight...
I have a fake one that's grainy and heavy...
