Default good deal?

i got a set of these in red but im going to trade for black.. won it at 850..
im wondering why these are so cheap.. i thinkmaybe because its alcantara?.. either way its still a good price for the seats.

Send us a link to the auction you won it off of. I'll bet money they're cheap knockoff **** seats.

having a wanabe seat is fucked... but if it was just a knockoff look.. then yeah thats chill! kinda like a rota seat, haha.

they seem to be knockoffs to me.

"BRIDE seats are among the top in the Japanese racing circuit. Our reclining seats are created for racing, with daily driveability and comfort in mind."

they are saying their seats are not BRIDE maybe?

or sounds like they are talking as if they are bride themseves like the stats are cut and pasted from somewhere else?
but lik ei said.. if they are good knockoffs who cares.
a good seat is a good seat, if they are knock offs it was bound to happen sooner or later esp at the price they sell for. im sure they dont cost anywhere near that to manifacture

It seems like they might be knockoff's because the other items he has for sale are cheap p.o.s. parts. but who konws, for that price they probably are REAL!! anyways good buy i like how they look alot!

if you don't care whether or not they are knockoffs.. then you must be stupid to be paying close to $1k with shipping for crappy knockoffs..

thats the 1st thing i thought of when i looked at what the person sells.. but they also have alotttttt of feedback that takes time to build up im sure they wouldnt risk getting bad feedback or getting thier account closed by ebay for seling knockoff stuff saying its real.. unless its identical knockoffs.. im thinking these might be a new seat bride put out and it is just cheaper..
because those cheasy fake leather ones were on ebay before any stores got them and they were like 400$ and i thought a bride seat for 400$ noway thats cheap.. till they came out and i saw thats what they go for.. and this was before tees even had info on thier site about them..
ill prob call tees tomm and ask about these

why is that.. srd are more and they dont have close to the support as these.. so if these are identical knockoffs and support exactly the same.. who cares if they are knockoffs or are a new brand called glide.
these seats got popular in japan cause they are just damn good seats. good support feel quality etc..
so if these are the same in all aspects to the real ones (thats if these are truly fake) why wouldnt you get them

consider them fake and cost $1k.. why dont you spend a couple of hundred more to get real ones.. real seats have greater resale value and gurantee to have good quality..
