Lightbulb Bride Gias Low Max Seats - Seats SOLD!! Rails available

Price dropped again!!! $1400!!!

Up for sale are my Bride Gias Low Max reclinable racing seats. These are AUTHENTIC Bride seats from Japan. I also had Bride custom design and build seat rails to fit these seats in my XB. They were happy to work on it. Five months later and 750 bucks broker, I had my rails in.

I only put one seat in the car. The second seat never even had the rails installed. These seats fit someone with a 34-36 waist. I'm 6'4", 200lbs. and wear a 36-38 depending on the brand and they were ... snug. I had to empty my pockets to get in or anything in them ended up on top of my legs.

"Holding Monster" - no doubt about it. They gave the car a different ride than I'd ever imagined. Just awesome.

My wife and I are having our second daughter soon and we could use some extra funds, so these have to go. (ok ok.. and I'm putting on weight. There... I said it.)

I paid over $1600 a piece for the seats and $750 for the seat rails. (Not good at math? That's just under $4000)

First - the disclaimer: ONE seat is brand spanking new, never sat in. The other has been used in a daily driver for over a year. It has held up better than I imagined it would with that kind of daily abuse. Here are the issues with the used seat:

There is a pinky-sized hole on the inside of the right bolster from a hidden fastener rubbing its way through over the year.

There are two thin scuffs in the clearcoat on the back of the seat.

There is slight fraying of the material in the bottom-back-left side. This could be cleaned up and not seen. In fact, I may go ahead and do this.

The fore-leg support came undone at the seam. I had a seamstress remove the padding, sew additional fabric to the inside and re-sew it together. It did pull the edge in slightly (had to have enough to catch) and there's now enough extra fabric inside to keep it from unraveling again. (*Side note - this 'fabric' I'm mentioning is not Bride gradient fabric like people get on the fakes. It's just regular seat cloth from the local fabric store and is not seen. Only for extra support)

I'd like to sell these local. I'm in Anderson, SC and within 2hrs. of Charlotte, NC; Atlanta, GA; Columbia, SC and I'm willing to ship, but would prefer to sell face-to-face. If someone would like them shipped, I will determine packing and shipping costs based on that individual.

I am asking $1400 for both seats and both sets of rails. (The originals that come on the seat and the custom ones from Bride). I can accept Paypal, certified bank checks, or any credit/debit card in person. (*Cash is always good as well)

I would like to try to sell the pair with the rails first. If no takers, then I'll let everyone know if I'm willing to let just the seat pair or rail pair go alone and what pricing will be.

I will respond as quickly as possible, but it may take some time to get back to you on here (especially weekends).

*I am trying to sell these locally as well and reserve the right to pull this at any time.

If anyone is curious as to what to look for in real (authentic) vs. fake (replica/copy) Bride seats, LOT USA put out a great picture guide. I've linked it on my Flickr page.

I do still have the 1st Gen Scion XB custom (from Bride Japan) seat rails to fit the Gias Low Max seats. These are just like the universal mounts with handle to slide the seat forward and back, but the correct height and mounting locations for a 1st Gen. Scion XB.

I'll take $250 for the rails plus shipping, or you can pick them up locally to 29621.
