Could someone please post up some pictures of their stock type R shift ****? 2000-2001 please, preferably close-ups if possible.

Chris, who's got a gut feeling...

 

 

About what?

 

My guess is he ordered a Type R shift **** and it was supposed to be real and it might be fake...

 

If he's got a Type R he should have a real one on his shifter... Perhaps his doesn't "feel" real.

 

Yeah, if he has a type-r he should have one, but why would it feel fake??

 

why would you order something and not think that is real??

 

Well, my car was stripped, and I just got it back from the dealership after almost 6 weeks, and something about it just didn't feel right. I dunno. I requested all OEM equipment, and they said it was real. I compared it to some of my SoCal buddies' Type R's today, and I suppose it's real. I guess it just didn't feel the same, maybe 6 weeks without your car can do that to you. Thanks all, I appreciate your help.

 

Dunno if you are experiencing the same, but for some reason my shift **** looks different than my friends. My shift **** is a dull titanium color, whereas all my friend's shift ***** are shiny and metalic looking in their Rs.. I dunno which one is real!

 

the stock ones get somewhat shinny with miles and use

 

So is there really no way to tell the real ones from the fakes? I bought one of the cheap 25$ fake ones about a year ago just for ***** and grins (I hated the thing, it was always to hot or to cold), and just from looking at real ones, I couldnt spot a difference.

 

yup, thas the best way to tell a fake...

 

eh? someone wanna elaborate please?

 

You can try unscrewing it and see how much is the weight difference.

 

Well SoCal... if turns out fake, I'll buy it off of you

BTW--thanks for hooking me up with the guy who hooked up me with the ambers!

-skafia, who was crusin up the mountains with you today in his CW R @ the meet

 

I'm assuming that the real one doesnt get to hot or cold.

 

The real one gets crazy hot during the summer, that's why I switched it for the spoon one. Back in winter, I use the stock one because I can handle the coldness.

 

Besides the weight difference, I've noticed that imitation ***** have a rougher texture than the OEM one. I would characterize my shift know as a matte dull silver color too.

remember that you mention that

 

true, i even so a member throwing a towel over it to keep it cool!

 

That's what I did. Might as well just get a summer ****. Spooon!

 

i like that cf looking piece that says integra on it

 

It's actually just a plastic sticker.

 

yea, just as people said, check the weight and the copies aren't as round at the top, they are more squarish and than oval.

 

forgot to mention the real ones are heavier.
