Not a model you would see knocked off.

I've never seen a Recaro speed replica. The only fake I've seen is SPG.

ETA I wouldn't buy that seat just because it needs new upholstery. It'd be cheaper to buy new seats.

after some more digging, it's definitely a Speed not an SRD.

Here are some replicas off craigslist, pretty easy to spot as the RECARO stitching at the headrest is way too low lol

I will admit I've never seen a vinyl replica seat with the RECARO stitched up top

That doesn't look like a color a knockoff company would do. Knockoffs are always red or black. Send Recaro an email
