Most companies put some sort of trademark/copywrite markings on their packaging.

I'm sure that most of the Japanese product has a description on the back, so it looks a little suspicious.

Where did you buy this?

For $30 bucks, who care if it's not real, it's a real looking one if it's a knock off, and it's a well priced one.

well because you bought an item for cheap doesnt mean that is a piece of crap.... maybe the person that is selling them doesnt know the actual usdm value of this piece....... Because i am shure that in japan this **** will be selled for much less than $80 dollars........


Most ppl say you get what you pay for, but I mean, I think its real... most of the ppl here has replied saying that the item is reall......

It even comes with instructions and the sticker......
thanks for the feedback

I honestly preffer the Skunk2 one. It's weighed to help you shift. It's sleek and stylish, and it works like a beauty when you have the Skunk2 short shifter.

I checked the site to see if logo is engraved or a sticker. I couldn't tell because the small pic on their secure order site is too small. I'll check at Autobacs next time I make a visit.

Can't post pics from an https: site on here.

my 2 cents, in your picture the "m" in mugen sticks out farther left than the symbol above it, but in the picture from kingmotorsports the symbol seems to be farther left then mugen. just an observation, but who cares about brand names when it comes to a shift ****.

i've heard this, but dont quote me on it. . .

people say that the real mugen ones are engraved/etched while the fake ones are just some type of paint or sticker that rubs off over time.
