It would look like the real deal, but no way to prove it, one way or the other.

stock shift knob is perfect. wouldnt you see marks from vice grips? either way, i dont really think its a big deal, more of a funny thread

I personally don't have an opinion on it. Someone else called BS. I was just saying you can't prove it one way or the other.

On second thought, if your hands are really that strong, your knob probably has as many scuff marks as the one I posted in the other active shifter thread....
