Real STi Duracon gear knobs vs Fake
Ok since there are a flood of FAKE STi Duracon gear knobs going
around on eBay lately I thought I'd post this up so memebers won't be duped into paying more than $20 for a fake when they thought it was genuine. Pics stolen from rexnet: Fake on the left, real on the right: as you can see the shapes are different, fake ones are wider at the top and have a slightly longer leading edge at the bottom. fake weighs in at 104g: real weighs in at 103g: fake on the left, real on the right: fake ones also have a matte finish compared to the genuines gloss finish resin Ok so that's the differences which are very minor but they come in a box exactly the same as a real one and they also have on the box the correct part number from the real ones. There are also White STi Duracon fakes, STi definately never made this gear knob in white! The fakes still look good and do the same job just don't get ripped by paying anything more than $20 if your going to get one. Hope this has helped anyone thinking of getting one and the only place to get genuine ones are from japanparts and another other reputable jap parts sites plus the real ones are around $70 so they aren't exactly expensive.

I bought a white faker.. its actually awesome.
I knew it wasn't real due to the price, but as STi didn't make a real white duracon knob, and even an aftermarket (Kartboy or WC Lathewerkz) duracon gear knob was going to cost me a fair packet , I thought I might as well buy the "STi" item. Plus I like the shape. Cost me $30 landed, it fits absolutely perfectly. I'm more than happy with it! |

Yeah as said there is hardly any difference and they work fine so
for $20-30 it's fine but some sellers are askng $50+ and saying they're genuine which is not on!
