I got scammed with some fake Brides! Help w/ Bride Fabric!

Basically I got sold some fake bride brix II's for 1000.00 from another evom member, and now I am stuck with them. He wont answer his phone, I dont have his address, nothing. He won. But now I need to make do with what I have. I saw that Bride sells their fabric and I was wondering if it is possible to re-wrap the seats in the authentic material. I also was wondering if their material that you buy off them comes with the Bride logo? If anyone has any info on what I can do let me know.

yes, you can buy bride material for wrapping .. and i believe you can buy it with or without the bride logo on them and color choices as well .. but they are very expensive and you have to buy enough to wrap and alot of throw away too ...

sorry to hear your mis-hap ..

watch out for items that cost more than 200 dollars. There are many scammers here in evom. I got stock cams instead of HKS and Stock Honda injectors instead of RC engineering. Also watch out for Xede sales.

don't bother re-wrapping fake brides with real bride fabric. that's a waste of bride fabric imo. brides are more than just about the fabric as i'm sure you are well aware. it's all about build quality and light weight.

if i were you, i'd just sell them as a pair as 'fake brides.' i'm sure there are some people out there who are willing to buy them. you're gonna be losing about 500 bucks on the whole deal, but better than being out completely right?

agree^^^ sucks that you are going to loose out either way, buying fabric or selling, but you might as well have the real thing if that is what you wanted in the first place. Didn't you get his info when he bought your other seats?

That's Karma for yo punk ***. You should've sold the seats to Smurfette and none of this would have happened. I hope you learned your lesson.
