Are these real BRIDE seats?

found this link on ebay.....seems awful cheap to be real bride seats.....anyone got any input....

or for that matter does anyone have bride brix seats they can compare these too?

I know the auction is almost over but incase these are legit and the seller does post again I might buy.

Well, it looks like it is. The price looks great but he makes the rest up in shipping. $150 shipping on one seat is insane.

the auction actually says for 1 pair (2 seats)

thats why Im questioning it....that seems awfully cheap for two bride seats....the brix seats retail on most sites for $700+ each and I havent found any made from alcantara

^---exactly, it says bride "style". Actual bride seats would cost a fortune. But I bet you they are still a pretty good quality seat.

im still tempted....i sent him an email asking if he can verify their authenticity in anyway and if the seats pictured are the actual ones for sale.....even if they are knock offs they do look nice.....

the only thing that would concern me would be quality. If its not real bride who makes it and how good is the seat, say if I go into an accident.

I have immitation Ralli///Art seats and they are really good quality. I ordered them off ebay as well for almost the same price. I took them to a guy who makes custom racing seats to find the correct bolts to hold them in and he said they were excellent quality. As long as you use the proper custom made mounting brackets for the lancer and "grade 8" steel bolts, you should be fine in an accident. The seatbelt is what holds you in, not the seat. If you get 4pt racing harnesses like I have in my car, use the bolt-in kind to make sure they are solid. I used 1/2in grade 8 bolts with nylock nuts to secure my seatbelts.
