I'm not sure if 90% of you guys noticed but it looks real because I'm pretty sure it is real.

It's going for what the cost of normal Brides go for and it's priced per seat not per set.

fake seats may look good, but the materials and everything they use to make the seats are cheaper. Knockoffs usually fade, rip, tear, etc......putting fake **** on the car is just whack...

Maybe I should sell my turbo timer for a $1 on ebay and shipping is $1000....so cheap
this is the new trend on ebay because you don't pay ebay seller fees on shipping charges only the selling price.

the seats might and could possibly be real.

bride is really expensive in the US maybe due to it's rarity and 'jdm-ness' probably?

over here in asia it's not that expensive as compared to recaro or sparco. granted that ebay auction is cheaper than what we get in local shops here but it's not that much cheaper. maybe a hundred bucks or so.

Yep, in Asia it is one of those 'quality items with good value', but in the states, you are better off buying Sparco or Recaro for the same money, where all models are FIA approved. Bride only has a handful of models approved.

People like this will murder the quality of parts, and kill the R&D companies do. Hey by the way I will be in Iraq again soon maybe I can pick you up some seats there.

odds are if they are fake... the pics are of REAL brides, and the ones youll get may look similar, but in person, youll be able to see differences in quality....

Yes, it was Seibon - one of the companies supported by some of the biggest names in US EVO tuning - that ripped off Voltex's wind tunnel tested hood design and prompted Voltex to quit production of that unit. . .

I noticed some other auctions doing this a couple years ago so I tried it. I tried selling an amp that normally sells for ~ $600 for Buy It Now for $100 with $400 shipping.

I got a nasty email from eBay saying the auction has been deleted and that if I tried to circumvent their seller fees again my account would be closed. . .

Then why are you wasting our time by posting? Go buy them and be happy. Btw, normal brides do not go for 900 shipped. That model is around 1500 shipped for a good deal.
