so i bought it thinking it was reps as it was cheap.

But i got to searching for legit tags and i found some, but dunno if theyre common for reps to have them too?


bride lowmax vios iii.
I saw the tag bride tag, behind it was "made in japan" and ive tried to compare rep springs to legit springs but no luck. saw a few but the picture links expired (OP!)

They look legit to me. Even if they aren't they still look good. As long as the stitching is good and it seems reliable then you are good. Seats should be for function and comfort rather then looks in my book. Nice pickup!

From what I can see in those pictures you've taken, those look to be fakes...

1st post already full of fail.... There are multiple threads with references to tell you whether theyre real or not... If you search. Bride Japan will also tell you if they are or not on their facebook page. Happy not-spoonfeeding-your-ass, and welcome.

P.S. Theyre fake.

Pretty sure real brides won't have crooked and wrinkled stickers.

yea thats wat i figured on the crooked logo too lol
but the wrinkled stickers part, theres only 1, and thats because the spring hook kinda rubbed against it causing the tag to rip a lil

i did search a bit, all the tags i seen on mine are similar w/ genuines
only thing i see is def a fake is the bride stitching on the head is crooked.

just confirming, so its fake because of the crooked logo only? or the tags give it away too?

From what I can see in those pictures you've taken, those look to be fakes...

what appears to be fake? just the head "bride" logo thats crooked? or other parts too?

thanks guys for feedback. i was leaning towards it being reps too because of crooked logo but those tags and "made in japan" bride tag kinda threw me off track

If you have to ask if they are real, they are probably fake.

Alright...The logo is crooked... The sticker lacks the tee's logo... The tension bits are cheap, and the fabric is also a giveaway.

You don't say! A fake that looks a lot like the real thing. I would have never guessed...

The stupid is strong with this one.

Pretty much any Vios Low Max is going to be fake. It's the most over produced fake seat out there.

At this point, I would never buy one used.

Are you selling these for $700 or did you just pick them up for $700. Either way it's a complete rip off.
