JIC Magic Type-C Seats, Worth It?

Basically I am looking for new seats to replace my fake Bride Brix II's (got ripped off by evom member, Chase101). I was wondering if anyone has had any experience w/ JIC Magic Seats. I was looking at the JIC Magic Type-C seats and they looked pretty good. My main concern is if they would be "show-worthy". I just cant really afford new Brides right now, so I figured that the JIC seats would still be pretty nice (to the judges point of view). It is really the only other decent Japanese company that makes good looking seats (besides Bride).

If anyone has an opinion on these seats, let me know.

Varis & Recaro make very nice seats but they will cost you a fortune. the Recaro SPG weighs in @ 9lbs since it's carbon/kevlar. what show car has 1 if not 2 of those???

Yeah I guess I will sell the fake Brides if anyone wants them. So yeah please post opinions on the JIC seats, or what you think of JIC in general.

I think this thread is turning into another one of my fake bride threads

The JICs look very similar to Brides, so overall, looks nice.

If you want red seats, possible look into a used set of JDM Integra Type R Recaros - great color, and so much more side bolster support than the crappy USDM evo seats. (the rails may need to be custom though?)

I am debating whether I am going to do zeta III's or these JIC Magic Seats. I kind of like the memoryfab seats as well, but I just wonder how they look in an Evo. If anyone has a picture of the memoryfab seats in a car, please post them.
