I'm no expert on seats, but those don't even look like the same design as all the bride seats I have seen.

yeah... look odd to me too. I'd stay away from them. Chances are if they are not legit... then I'd be worried about safety from them possibly also being made of sub-standard materials... especially when you have to rely on them in something unfortunate like a collision. Just my .02

I can tell you for sure the Cugas are fake, I wouldn't trust anything else they are selling if they are selling even one thing fake and knowing it.

the first word on the description on that page is "Rep", as in short for Replica.

"Rep BRIDE Low Max Cuga, Vios, Digo, Gias racing seats, BRIDE Gradation Fabric Cloth Material, NRG Carbon Fiber Racing Seats, NRG Carbon Bucket Setas, Tuning Pads, JDM Squash Air Freshener, JDM Shoshinsha Driver Badges, F1 Spec Carbon Fiber Racing Seats, Kevlar Racing Seats, Type 1 Type 2 Type 3 and R1 Bucket Seats..."

i'll never buy real Brides because i'll end up spending the rest of my life convincing people they're not fake. fakes ruined it for the real owners. if you have recaros or sparcos in your car, the first thing people wont ask you is "are they real?"
