What's the deal with the TRD shift knob
 

I am sick of my loose OEM shift knob. So I want to buy the TRD replacement.

New, the knob sells for between $45 and $189. What's the deal with the difference in price? Is this a widely counterfeited part? Anyone buy one and regret it?

One came on my car a FRS RS1. It loosened up after taking it off so I replaced it with a Raceseng knob...much better.

I have one of the replicas. If you search on ebay without the GT86 term but rather "TRD shift knob", they sell them for <$20 and they're exactly the same as the other Chinese replicas. Stitching isn't the best and the top had some damage, but for $14 shipped, I'm not complaining. I prefer it over my anarchy motive one IMO.
