FAKE/REPLICA TRD Shift Knob, Start Button, Battery Clamp, Carbon Strut Bar

Guys, FYI!


There is FAKE/REPLICA TRD SHIFT KNOB, PUSH START BUTTON, BATTERY CLAMP, CARBON STRUT TOWER BAR.


They are listed on ebay, internet, website etc.

I've seen it and it looks 9X% like the real one.
If you have never seen the real one, you might think it is the real one.
The Fake one come with japanese instructions manual and everything just like the real one.

Beware of it, because some seller is selling the fake one for a little bit cheaper than the real one.


Purchase from Legit or well known vendor.
If the seller can only sell the above TRD products and they cannot sell you other TRD products, Most likely their TRD products are the FAKE one.

Thanks

Nigel

Any tips on what to look for (differences in the fakes)?

I usually order my jdm stuff through you anyway, but I look at used stuff at times

You gotta have the real one to know they are fake.
If you have never seen the real one, you will believe they are real.
My friend from China show me and I am shocked.
I've seen in on Facebook, ebay, and some website.
