hey what's up guys, just a quick question and so sorry if it's in the wrong forum, i'll be more precise next time!

anyway, with the itr titanium shift ****, is there any way to tell if one is fake or not? ie is the real one stamped oem honda or have any specific mark on it?

i'm buying one for a little under a hundred, just wanted to make sure it's real....it's a little above the price to be a fake one, but not quite expensive enough to be a real one...so i'm not sure

thanks guys for the help and sorry again if it's in the wrong place

weight. Has to be very heavy.

 

There are no markings...you are basically putting a lot of faith into the seller...100 bucks for a shiftknob is pretty high you ask me...but to answer your question...no there are no markings...just the red "H" shift pattern...

tell that to the dealership who wants 185~ish list.

 

Make sure the shift **** is smooth. The fake ones are pitted.

Hey, it's personal preference...I would never pay 100 bucks for a shiftknob...

The dealership wants 600 for an OEM cat, does that mean you'd pay that? Nope.

The dealer wants 400 for a radiator? I got mine for 80.

You can't really go by dealership prices or everyone would be broke. I'd make a **** out of duck tape before I bought one for 100 bucks...

They claim they are genuine honda shift *****...say dealerships want 30 bucks for that piece....

Where the hell did you get 180? That is amazing they charge that much...talk about price gouging...

List is around ~$200, it's a fact.

 

Those are fake as F. False information when selling

That's too bad then...sucks people are like that...they look fine to me though...although I don't have one in my hand...

200 bucks list price...I'm still blown away...

 

I have the one i took off my car if anyone needed pics of it....

 

are you buying it from jdmtheory? or acutech?

 

Actually ITR shift ***** are $222 from the stealership brand new

 

i got a Real Duracon Spoon Shift **** in box for $50 But you're probably getting it for the weight, Good Luck

 

Dont have a type R ****, but i had an old gen2 rx-7 **** that was weighted. Great quality and function. Free from a junkyard. Cant beat free.

 

the leg of the H going down to the R is slightly bigger (wider) than the one going to the 5

 

well i think first off ...the real OEM one has like slight grain lines around it (only noticable upon really close inspection) that in my opinion make it look real metalish. I know it seems hard to tell but another way to tell is that those fake ones on ebay have a very distinct border from the top to the sides check out my listing for my MOMO suede shift boot for sale and there is a pic of my REAL **** there..hope fully that will help you.

 

here ya go
