Default How does one identify a fake/authentic Mugen shift ****?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...26895
Just wondering if this is the real deal or if I should just stick to kingmotorsports.com. Scroll down for a bigger picture.

seeing as how the real mugen **** is almost $80 and that company is selling various other fake parts, it's safe to assume that "mugen" **** is fake too.

If you read the description close enough, it says JDM Mugen 'style' which is the disclaimer that allows them to sell it. Just like DC 'style' headers for $36, lol. Real products sell on ebay everyday, you just have to train yourself to be aware of the language which gives away whether it is real or fake.

"The shift **** is JDM Mugen style for all 5-speed MT vehicles"

When something says ______ <U>Style</U> that means its fake

Usually the parts that comes from big ebay dealers are fake, the real stuff usually is from a individual seller not a company. Also good info posted above
<U> </U> Style = fake
