Question Bride seats real or fake?

Whats up guys. Saw these on Ebay today. I know Ebay is full of fake Bride seats, but these do look halfway decent. What do you guys think?

I did. Still waiting on his reply. I'm about 50/50 on whether or not they're fake. They look quality in the pics. But I don't know. All I know is that I'm not going to pay 700 dollars for some fake seats, lol.

Yeah, I'm harping on the seat thing because when I smoked (blah, thank God I quit) I burned a whole into my drivers seat cushion :-(

FAKE.

$300 each tells me a lot.
When he says they're made by "Bride, a trademark in Canada," that should tell you. Bride ain't Canadian.

Those are 100% fake.

I call fake on this one as well. Looking at the bottom part the way how the leg support sticks up so high, this model should be the bride brix. But looking at the shoulder support, they're so narrow, which is the bride ergo.

But the thing is that, this seat doesn't look like like the Brix or the Ergo.

Those seats are way too cheap to be real Bride seats. So I would have to say they are fake. Ask him what material they are made out of cause usually that is the big give away for Bride replicas

Thanks for the info guys. Yeah, the Bride trademark in Canada thing was pretty sketchy.

I love that notion, considering the fast and the furious made a lot of mullet sporting z28 owners hate us by default.
