i cant imagine actually knowing a person that buys knock offs and tells people their what they were knocked off of as a genuine product. gotta be embarassing tho when people pick it out. despite where its made, its just been the way of times, im still confident ill get a good product even if its not made in japan like it used to be because, generally, companies have specific guidelines and standards for their products that must be met regardless. when i can afford some GIAS, ill still buy BRIDE. on a side note, i run Federal 595's, great bang for buck tires, those are made in taiwan too. hm.

Yours are fake too (like I said in the other thread). You can choose to believe me or not. I don't really care.

You understand that the Chinese are VERY good at replicating shit right? Have you seen the Sciphone C6? Google it. The fake Brides come with the same stickers and tags and model numbers that real Brides do now. I ordered a set off eBay and compared them to a real Bride and OTHER than the velvet-ish upper bolster material the seats were exactly the same. And even that difference was very subtle...

JDMbyBlood's seats were replicas. Sorry to knock you off cloud 9...

Ya, I mean... how hard would it be for the Chinese copy cats to just put those simple tags and shit on the seats?

If they can replicate the whole seat almost exactly... why couldn't they add a couple stickers/tags?

I'm not saying yours are fakes... but you know what they say...

"if it sounds too good to be true..."

what does the real fabric on the red Zeta's feel like? i got a "cheap red Zeta and its nice, stitching is solid, made in japan tag, but the fabric is kinda meh. when i ordered it off egay, i was assuming/hoping that it would be like that silky smooth kinda fabric, but it feels like a thin, clothy kinda shit.. idgaf i paid 225 for it

leung

It should be clothy and not silky smooth. Pics would be easier to tell.

Hanz41

hmm interesting... and my car is at touge factory getting deghetto'd and tuned but i should be getting it back like tomorrow hopefully and ill take a real close up

Hanz41

actually i remember i had this pic..

Hanz41

and heres it before i dropped my car off at TF

S-Nation S13

Damn it's so hard ..I remember tein had a problem with janky s-tech springs..why fake it to make it..I know why..bc were all fucking broke lol..it's like knock - off rims, knock - off purses..damn cancer..

leung

Pretty sure thats fake. 99% of brides on ebay are fake.

Hanz41

ya i believe so as well.. im just mainly curious what if feels like to sit in a legit zeta, then sit in my zeta.. like structural integrity and fabric between the 2

leung

Not sure on the structural integrity on the fake ones, but the fakes def way tighter and more snug in a bad way than the real ones.

kiriyama

I was trying to sell my seat and now everyone is saying its fake. Always seemed legit to me though...

I can't tell you 100% yea that it's real but I'm positive that looks exactly like my old bride, which was a legit one. Everything is exactly the same, sticker location and placement, colors, even the spring thingy.

I would say yes, that is a legit bride.

Purchased this today for 100$.
Is the back cover an authentic Bride piece, or did they never make such a thing?
Also, is it possible to buy the missing plastic harness eyelet anywhere?

ms!3

Back piece should be authentic, I've seen a few on yahoojp.

ILoveJDM

back piece is authentic you can find them for sale on their website. but that is probably for the newer low max;s i dont think they made them years back.

Hey guys! Need your expertise asap... thinking of purchasing these seats, but guy seems a bit shady when I question him about authenticity.

Can anyone help me figure out if these are reproduction seats?

fake!!!!!!!!

Gingersmurf

If that's the same guy i've dealt with in that area (John Williams) hes a sketchy dude, lots of stories of him ripping kids off. If its him, stay away.

The seats are in mint condition... and they would look great in my car, but the guy gave me a bad vibe by wanting to rush the sale - so I backed off to do some research. I don't know the guys name, but he is located in Burnaby.

If anyone can tell me exactly what to look for in these Bride Euro II seats so I know if they are just reproductions bought off of ebay.

Malik

its a shame this company gets knocked off so damn much.

Gingersmurf

Just be careful. Should similar, he is very rushed and very pushy with sales, not to mention hes a dick in person If you're texting him the last four digits are 3447 [don't want to get in trouble for posting the whole number]

ask him for receipts, also on the newer seats, upon purchase, there is a tag on the side unique to the seat with a bar code thingy.

Fairlady1990

Thanks guys for all your help... I'm thinking I'm going to pass on the seats since the seller can't produce any documentation stating they came with his car.

Seems like too much money since its proving hard to determine if they are reproductions.

If anyone can provide exactly what a true bride seat has that is missing from a fake... I'm still all ears
