eBay crappy TRD stuff

I've had good luck and bad luck on eBay when it comes to "Genuine" TRD parts. I bought a genuine 86 arm rest and had it shipped from Japan and it was definitely legit. I am very happy with that purchase and it certainly costed enough to be genuine.

However, most recently I bought a "Genuine" TRD shift knob and I can tell you that it does NOT feel genuine at all. The red threading is a different shade than they boot (it's a little lighter and not as thick), and it's VERY light when compared to the OEM FRS knob. I understand the idea of wanting to save weight and all, but it's my understanding that you want a shift knob to have a good weighty feel.

Rule of thumb: get your genuine parts from Japan (especially from eBay) and avoid anything from China.
