Are these real or a scam???

Bride Brix 2 supposedly

The listing has them in black suede but when I go to Bride's site they don't show them in Black suede.

Am I looking at a scammer?

Please advise.

Thanks

I wouldnt buy them even if they are real. I think the stock recaros are good looking, those look cheesy.

Those are fakes. Bride dealers specifically state to beware of the fakes that say they are made in suede.

Thanks guys, I am not going to buy them.

I really want some stock leathers.

I have a guy local that is willing to buy my seats (the black with the blue down the middle) he wants to put them in his toyota spyder.

So I was just looking around.

Again thanks for the heads up.

Actualy I have one seat i bought off somebody for cheap, and they feel great!
My friend instead bought a real bride brix, and we compared it to the fake one. The suede one feels a bit flimsier (like the back wobbles a tiny bit more), but every thing else (down to the knob, and bride tag) seems real. The cushoning is even as soft and fit like a glove.

but ehh, it makes a great gran turismo rig chair.

I agree with others. It's gotta be a fake. Price doesn't seem to match the average. If you are buying it for looks why not... For safety and performance, I would pass...

There is a reputable place in Japan that sells these (brixII's) for ~62,000JPY = $533 so it's possible but I doubt the eBay ones are real, however.

I mean, they said:
Pictured is a brand new set of Bride reclinable bucket seats in black suede. This is a no reserve auction.
If anyone wants to see the bride price in japan: http://www.e-naniwaya.com/item_bride/22-0011-03.html <- these guys do the cheapest Bride seats I've found. But as usual, shipping is murder....

Oh, and like someone already said, BrixII's don't come in suede. Either fabric or leather. And the picture on eBay from this guy shows a slightly different reclining mechanism to the one from Bride site.

eBay:


Bride:


Sorry for the giant picture. The triangular-ish plastic plate look different + bride logo look smaller in the lower picture.

The fakes look like they are covered in the same material used on a "FELT ELVIS" picture you would see at a flea market.
