While I can see the basis for your argument, I bought the shifter assembly knowing it was not the USDM one (from this thread, no notification on KMS's site) and still have no regrets. I bought it for pure functionality, and it continues to exceed my expectations in that department compared to the stock shifter assembly so I am happy with my purchase. And technically this shifter assembly is still a bolt on piece that requires no modification of any kind. I guess at the end of the day it's in the eye of the beholder.
