What are you asking...if the seats are real or fake? If they're fake then theyre damn good!!!! I think you can be confident they're the genuine article.

They look fake. The original jdm seats came in red or black but they do not come with the cut out in the seat for the race harness. And that looks like cloth fabric they only came in alacantra aka suede. They would be dc2 knock offs since the top of the seat is square and not round. Round top = dc5
^^ what? dc2 Recaros def have the harness cut out. But you're right the round tops are dc5. Good pic http://media.photobucket.com/image/d...6-R/rec002.jpg. Either way the "RECARO" is obviously in the wrong place to be from a Honda. Maybe genuine but from another car?
EDIT: Didnt see the cutout in base of seat - sorry.

Recaro makes srds with the recaro in that spot. The only thing that looks iffy to me is the second "R" in the Recaro logo in the first pic looks kind of off. It might just be the pic though. I also dont remember Recaro ever making that crotch harness cutout on Srd's either.
They are definitely real. Some SRDs did come with a hole in the base for a 5 point harness. These are NOT the SR3 versions that came standard on JDM/UKDM ITRs, but are the "aftermarket" version Recaro sells. Hence the giant Recaro on the top instead of the small Recaro in the middle.

They're called RECARO SPEED seats.
They ARE NOT out of any Integra USDM or JDM or UKDM or whatever kind of DM but they are "real" Recaro's regardless. I wouldn't trade your ITR seats for them personally, the Avus material doesn't match any sort of material in your interior anyway, and you couldn't get matching back seats if you wanted to, so kind of a mood kill for me.
And if I was going without back seats, then I would opt for fixed back racing seats of some sort all the way... and a cage... Otherwise you would probably just look like a ricer who thinks taking out the back seat actually saves a significant amount of weight lol
