Default Real or Fake Recaro's *POLL*

Alright guys im in a dilemma here. I was wondering if if you think these Recaro's are fake or not? This guy claims them to be Recaro Sport "Topline" Version 2 prototype's but when i saw the seats they had no sticker of authenticity or even a stamp that said Recaro on it. All it had was the Recaro stitched on the head rest.


Soo tell me are they REAL or FAKE???

I have no idea how to tell for sure, but they look really nice. Usually fake stuff is mass produced, and those definitely aren't like any fakes I've seen before...

Have you seen the seats in person? And are those the only photos you have?

Does the seat heat and have electrical recline?

Never heard of a "Version 2" and not sure how he would obtain a prototype...

What kind of deal are you getting on these?

If you have to question, I would PASS

Look fake to me...




The top of the seat loooks kinda crooked,

Btw if these are less than 800 or so, (a LOT less) then theyre probably fake.

Those in particular arent very popular - so I would doubt anyone makes a fake version for them.

GTI's also had a recaro that very similar, with a different color scheme however.

Those are not evo 8 or evo 9 seats

Similar shape/model, but not the same seat at all

The first pic used was one i took when i was selling my set. They are real deal, I think i ended up selling my set for around $800, since they aren't a very popular color combination.
