that's fine. look at the knob bro. it's pretty clear it isn't faux cf haha
If I recall correctly, the previous posts about it said that it was most likely fake, but a decent/high quality fake. I do not recall anyone ever saying it was the real thing.
Not sure where you are seeing someone say the CF is fake, though. If it is the following quote, I took it as the knob itself is fake. Not the CF.
The 'carbon fiber layer' is moving and spins freely from the actual knob even though the knob itself is installed properly. It's fake.
If you are concerned about vouching for the seller, andre12dbsi clarified that one for you:
I have the same shift knob. In my case, AP vouched for the seller (i.e Canadian, no customs fees, fast and cheap shipping) not necessarily the knob. He never told me that he was 100% sure it was authentic.
