I bought it off Ty (Canon Fodder). Genuine ones are pretty dear but as above Fleabay has some fake ones cheap.

True. They're about £80 for genuine ones on Ebay. It's not bad at £45 Joe for a genuine one.

Would be interested to know the difference on the cheap ones, I've bought two of them and they are very good to be fair.

I guess it's made of a cheaper material.

The difference between the real and fake duacon gear ***** are that:

Fakes ones - £12 jobbies from eBay are very 'plasticy' and in general not great quality.

The real ones, 'I bought mine from Japan for around £70 delivered'

They feel great, they actually look and feel like they could be made from glass! Plus with the product, duracon, it doesn't get too hot in summer or too cold in winter.

Photos of my genuine one:

Lol, we're on a forum discussing gear *****!! Thanks for the info tho! Mine rattles so I want to replace it or fix it up. Think I'd like the Duracon just not sure it goes with the stock 05 interior that well..

To be honest if it wasn't a rare item I'd stick to the genuine one instead looks just as good
