i recall a thread where a fellow evo member bought some of these and after someone told him their were knockoffs he immediately contacted the dealer. i mean their cool if you want the looks but safetywise i heard these seats are crap.

my friend bought these replica Gias but he knew they were fake when he first bought them.
I couldnt tell the difference until he told me they were fake.

I've heard of a few people actually liking their knockoff brides from ebay. The quality isn't as top notch as bride but the knockoffs aren't too shabby.

I bet that they're all made in the same factory and some just get sold as brides and some get sold as generic.

Does anybody know where to get a cheap seat like 300 shipped? Has to be comfy though. Don't like the stock seats. The bottom raises too far up. I need a flatter seat.

i read on a nissan forum i go to, that someone bought a set of these knock off seats or maybe the cheaper ones and when he got into an accident the seat Fliped down when his body weight hit the back piece. if you really think about that, that sure as hell isnt safe. dont get me wrong though those seats there look good but for safety measures i wouldnt buy em.

Buddy club makes bucket seats that are close to that price range, but the brackets are about $145. Evasivemotorsports seems to have the best prices on them.
