^how long have you been rocking it? Was it new when you bought it?

I've seen used ARCs look like that. If they are being used in a DD and aren't being maintained they can lose the luster. I don't personally know what to use to maintain Titainium, but you could probably ask a local jeweler if no one replies.

This was it when it was new



The blue was dull back then too. Now the whole thing is just kind of dull.

Look at this guy's ARC shift knob



Mine doesn't look nearly as vivid. Now I'm kind of thinking Vividracing ripped me off.

Lol nevermind. I cleaned it up and it looks legit. ARC has the tendency to not always do the best burnt patterns. You can see that some of the titan UICP have more burned parts than others. I just happened to get a knob with more yellow than blue/purple.

good to hear. Here is a link with some fortune knobs that are really well polished. Further down the page is a picture of a comparison between Fortune and ARC where both knobs aren't polished too well:

Well, based off the comparison picture my knob looks like the fortune one, but I dunno. I don't even have the receipt anymore since I bought this part in July. I got the box and everything, but my knob honestly doesn't look like ARC quality like in the RSX I posted above.

Either way, I'm done dealing with Vivid.

I don't see why it wouldn't be the ARC. Has anyone else had similar problems with them?

There are some very nice shift knobs on ebay for ~$40-$60. I looked the other day and was tempted to buy one. I liked a round, non-polished knob with a natural finish. Once I thought about it, I realized that it's almost exactly the same as the factory RS knob that's been in my Evo since day-1.
