FS: TRD shift knob "replica"... haha - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Not bad but damn that stitching looks like its ready to come off after the first shift.

I will tell all of you stright up I purchased my TRD shift knob from nigel
And thi f***ing think looks Identical so does the box.
I went in to Carson Toyota and I can confirm that these look identical.

It's a little upsetting paying the $100 dollers more I did for one.
But knowing its real makes it ok right!.....wrong
The real shift knob is sold for about $90.0" us in Japan.
So this thing is nearly half of that. I have always belived pay to play
No fake stuff, if you want the bling no fronting. But this thing fooled me
???? What a delema

Enjoy the knobs. But know this deep down
You Are a poser!!

Just saying

I am just a little bit dumber having read this.

Also i ordered one of these knobs and i can vouch for the quality. I gave it to my friend with an FRS though, since TRD doesnt really go with my BRZ.

As an FYI for the fake label on the box, the Authentic TRD knob is not made in Japan. This knob looks very similar, but the top plate is a little different and fit of the stitching and leather (or is it actual leather?) looks cheaper in this knock-off.

The real one costs 100.59 USD right now at japanparts.com. This fake is half that cost. I don't plan to buy any of the low end stuff for my car, but the option is there for those with lower standards.

Is this the same as the replica you are selling?
