Real or fake Bride seats?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2479927085

I bid on them on eBay, and won, but I don't know if I should send the money because I got an email from another eBay member saying that Bride doesn't make that material (alcantara).

The auction said that the material was exclusive to Japan, but that may be a way for him to cover his tracks.

Does anyone know if bride actually makes seats that are covered with alcantara?

I tried to check the japanese Bride website, but I can't read japanese, so if anyone can read japanese, here is a link to the japanese Bride site:

damn good replica, though.

p.s. if you're gonna get a racing seat, you might as well get a bucket, no use in having a regular reclinable to replace the stock recaros. I have a Bride Gardis seat, it's kinda uncomfortable, but it's a racing seat not for daily driving.
