there was a thread on this early this week or late last week, i dont think anyone had a real answer. it was 50/50 i think. i think they look pretty real. i love my 9 seats though, some binary seat brackets and i think they are perfect.

I'd guess from the price and the kevlar back that that's an authentic seat but it's hard to say without seeing the fabric first hand.

You missed the big description stating it has kevlar

**Attention: The back of these seats are not gloss black. The GIAS nor GIAS SPORT models of 100% authentic Bride seats were NEVER produced in this way. Black backs are fake; these are 100% real with Kevlar **

Most people would assume they aren't real by looking at the price per seat and the shipping origin, but at the same time, thats only a few hundred less than what each bride gias would sell for normally.
