5th harness location...
qaulity suede...
looks real...
try to twist the seats. see if they are cheap flimsy junk.
notice the plastic parts. see if they have crappy molding

feel the weight before you hand over the bills, if they are light they are prolly legit. if they are heavy, they are prolly fakes.

best of luck.

yeah to be honest it scares the s$*% out of me that i could be buying fakes...but the dude is super duper nice and is sending me all the pics of the above so they might be real....in all honesty i dont think he knows what he has i mean he was going to put them in a truck so maybe im going to luck out

if they are local def go check them out for $500!!! if not i would just keep the money and buy something your more confident in. it would be terrible to drop 500 on fake seats.

Just to let you know on the pic where it shows the tag. Fake ones have made in japan also on the reverse side. Unless this Ebay seller just had a real pic of the tag but he said the seats were fake.
