Re: REPLICA SEAT OWNERS CHIME IN! (mmhmm)
Have you checked to see if the replica seats are DOT approved?
If not, I wouldn't even think about risking my life with such crap
If so, because you'll probably save a good amount and they look good from what the picture shows

Re: REPLICA SEAT OWNERS CHIME IN! (Hybrid93Hatch)
typically replicas seats pose two problems:
Durability.
And Safety.
These seats have gotten good reviews for durability... the fabric is nice, stitching seams to be good, the handles etc seam to last, most find them to be comfy...
But I haven't heard anything regarding crash-testing etc. This is one of the only reasons I'm yet to buy a set. I've seen 'brand-name' seats basically disintegrate under heavy load... I've got a buddy that broke his collar-bones and one of his vertebrae due to poor seat quality. I'd look further into these before trusting your life w/ them.

funny thing is...no he wasnt in an accident, just from daily use, and he isnt a large guy either...
usually these replica seats are NOT DOT approved, thats why they sell them for so cheap
