The CF on this looks very good. Is it real CF?

Anyway, this product is sold by dozens of sellers on eBay. Or perhaps they're all the same with different price schemes... it's China, we'll never know

Here's the (much cheaper) listing by what I believe is the original manufacturer "DCR Tuning": http://www.ebay.com/itm/Carbon-Fiber...-/192018108880

@nathantse: Depending on the total cost of the eBay advertised parts (shipping & handling, tax if applicable), it might be cheaper to get a professional carbon fiber coating (e.g. here). As you have mentioned, the fact that you could always return to stock by removing that cf cover is advantageous.
I was waiting for a local offer until today. Turned out to be around $70, and that's already including our 19% VAT, so I assume you can find something even cheaper stateside

I think the CF over route would be most ideal. Like you said, I can revert back to stock whenever.

FYI, when I contacted DCR Tuning through eBay they replied within a day. Perhaps they'll even be willing to offer you a discounts... worth a try.

The OEM boot's clips will only attach to OEM shift **** is what I'm saying.
Post a pic if you can.

From what I hear, if its an aftermarket shifter, the clips basically will have to hang or you have to find some ways to keep it up. Unless you get an aftermarket boot as well.
