Default Spoon sports titanium shift ****

I ordered a Spoon Ti **** last week and got it today, and I'm beginning to think it's a fake.

My question is are they hollow in the center or a full piece? Mine is hollow and very light feeling.

Got it in an eBay auction. Guy has a 100% rating and sold legit stuff, and there really wasn't a way I couldn't tell the difference between a fake and real one besides on the fake ones the "burnt" is painted on.





edit: and what part of KY you from? and what happened at zerolift autolab? They're a sponsor on the local forum I get on (502ss)

It wasn't from an eBay store, it was a private seller and he had a 100% rating with other Honda stuff he has sold. I was the only bidder with $50.

careful those things have been known to break at the bottom if you shift like a man. Make sure you have the newer version which is reinforced

Yeah, Spoon makes very light shift ***** [crappy imo], and a titanium one is going to be especially light.

Yea, rule of thumb for telling the difference between knock off and the real deal I heard, is on the knock off, the "burnt" is painted on and rubs off. This one is used but in great shape, and it definitely doesn't rub off.

Even if its fake, it looks very close to the real thing. Looks better than the passwordjdm fake, and you got it cheaper than theirs. But it looks exactly like my real one so i think you got a good deal on it.
