Bride seats real?

Just wondering if I can get your guys input/opinion on whether these look legit? Seller said he bought the car with these. Any advice is appreciated.

What part don't you feel is 'real'? That would be like 4000 hours of work to fabricate to that level.

I'd buy those even if they were/are knock offs for the right price. Craftsmanship looks great on them, they look authentic to me, but if they're fakes they did a great job...

I'm going to bet 99% fake. Seeing the painted over weld spatter in the last pic, the orange peel in the paint, and the lack of certification/serial number sticker are the big tells. That rear stamped brace looks out of place.

Check out how good fakes, I mean "replicas" can be:

When in doubt (and there should be a lot of doubt considering the price disparity between fake and real), consider them fake. I wouldn't gamble my life on a product I wasn't sure would keep me safe.

There is a Youtuber that shows all the full details of the super hard to tell its fake Bride seat and the real one.
Those are fake, but really good quality
if you are getting them really cheap then get them if not move on.
