This got to be replica right?
So, I'm checking out Ebay and i run into this listing for a Bride Gias seat.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...AQ:MOTORS:1123

Normally real Bride Gias seats are selling for $1,500+ each, but this vendor claims it's authentic Japan Bride with the Kevlar backing for $775 or best offer. It's looks pretty real or an extremely good knock off.

What do you guys think?

hard to tell with Ebay and the fake ones look just a good as the real thing... A friend bought one seat real as his driver seat and bought the same one knock off one from ebay for his passenger seat and they look exactly the same other than a few very small things but no one would ever tell... and the seat is half price too lol...

If it looks the same, and doesn't immediately fall apart, then I say I get it. I don't know why people are obsessed with bride seats anyways, they are nice but there are many other seats out there that are just as good but cost way less. I guess people like paying for the name.

speaking of the gias, can anyone comment on the seating position of it in the evo ix? It's gotta be lower than the stock seat right? I wonder how much lower the "low cushion" goes
