Am I losing my mind or what!?!? Please take a look at this and advise

Ok... as many of you know I purchased a momo shift knob called tomahawk.. now I got it in the mail finally after about 2 weeks of delay... but I mean IMO it doesnt look ne thing like the way it looked in the pic. I even called the guy to double check before making the purchase, and he assured me that it looked the same way it did in the pic. Now Im posting up two pics ..the one from his website and the actual one that I got.. please tell me Im right..I asked my sister..and she was sayign that it was prolly the lighting .. but still none the less.. its a mis representational picture right?? Now I just lost 10 bux on shipping for somethign stupid!!

Here is what I saw on his website:


Now here is what I got in the mail and took a pic of it for u guy to tell me if im seeing things



In his picture... I was buying the knob cuz of that brushed aluminum look to match my shift gate and the radio knobs that Hcchon had sold me. I think its a mis representational pic.

to me they look the same. it was just probably the lighting because if you look at his picture at teh top you can tell that it is like a chrome look to it.

Yeah, looks like in the original picture the chrome is reflecting the brushed aluminum table that the shift knob is resting on. A little misleading, yes... intentional misrepresentation... I'm not sure...

looks to be the same for me as well. what did the ad say about the metal part? was it a ebay item? if so, it stated that it had a chrome base.

That looks like it would match the chromed out 99 shift gate... did you put it on yet? Let me know if it fits.... I was thinking about getting that too.

Im not going to put it on, I dont like that look, if I had the chrome shift plate, then maybe, but I think Im going to get the MOMO Combat EVO. Im just going to return this one, but let me knwo if you want this one, and you wanna buy this one off of me. No biggie if u dont, I'll just return it.

But to me the one in the pic looked like it had a brushed aluminum base, ne one knwo of ne shift knobs that have that type of base?? Post pics if poss.
