Needed a shift knob since my last one was hollow and broke while I was driving down the road. Didn't want another cheapass ebay one that would fall apart or give me herpes, so bought this OEM one for ~$40.

After I paid for it, I realized the product location was China...
So did some Googling and found out the car this supposedly came from (FD2?) only comes in 6 speed, thus the 5-speed knob above is fake.
Finally got it today:

Notice the fine, "genuine" packaging.
Initially planned to attempt to get my money back since it was listed as OEM and "titanium" (which I knew was BS), both false.
But it's solid and shouldn't fall apart which was my main concern. I'll let him keep the money and buy some rice.

i dont know about a shift knob, it could be like the jetta. people in china liked that car, so they just started making the whole fucking car for domestic sale, some of the bosch/VAG packaging was printed there, and well, step 3: profit...

Looks nice, but something about the 2 and the 4 seems off. I'd still run it.
-
Just wait till Scottsi, er I mean LS1pwNzJ00, pokes his head in here. You can ask him which one of his 1.3billion seaweed smelling, slant eyed relatives made it and you can ask for a refund then.
-
that 4 is more crooked than a town cop
-
I'm not concerned about getting my money back. Like I said just wanted a solid one that wouldn't break and figured OEM would be the sure-fire way of getting one.
The REAL 6-speed fd2 knob looks the same, except has a 6 where reverse is. My guess is they copied it and just moved the R to where the 6 was. Photo probably throws it off since it's round.
Satisfied with it just thought it was a damn good attempt at a "genuine" product. They did have a 5 speed but you know Honda didn't put one of these style knobs in it.
-
guess what. everything is made in china. ok.
-
guess what. i completely missed the point. ok.
I know.
-
honda makes some OE parts in china.
BMW makes a LOT of OE parts in china.

Honda makes a LOT of OE parts in china.

yeah that 4 looks more messed up then a tipped over tackle box

Don't give your self too much credit you fucking slope. Your as transparent as the condoms you mom uses at the massage parlor.
-
Zinga!
-
lol.
If i discovered my OEM part was a chinese knock off when I was under assumption it was real oem, id demand a refund and tell honda. Actually Id also demand the company i bought it from to give me a future discount or something. Im a cheap ass like that.
If its chinese and I know its chinese as Im buying it, im cool with it.
-
I'd rock it. Speaking of someone trade me a different knob for my DC Sport one

I normally find racism unpleasant, but I think that it's my inherent reaction to hearing it from inbred hicks like Johnny. When two "minorities" duke it out, holy shit I'm laughing.
Please, don't stop.

Someone who had one of the ones that go for $20ish on ebay, that broke while driving, leaving only a sharp thin piece of aluminum threaded to the shifter, who doesn't have shift knobs sitting around, and doesn't see $40 as difficult to part with for something I'll have for...decades?

i regret to inform you that its no coincidence that your children have slanty eyes and love rice. I have been forcefully dominating all of your wifes orifices for many years now.

If they sell a ton, maybe they're knockoffs. If the part is normally assembled in Japan with it tagged as such - it will still say that if I sell it here or Wang Fok Bow sells it in Yingyang Provice of China. Plus many things get imported into china much cheaper, since there's usually only 1-2 importers allowed to do so. Then they are okay with making pennies selling to locals. A few pennies will make you a rich chinese man.

guess what. i completely missed the point. ok.
I know.
you completely missed my point.
