They look like just another generic knockoff to be honest. I have the Tenzo R knockoffs. They do the job just don't have the "BLANG" factor. Only downside to the generics are the fabric seems to fade faster and not hold up as well.

My buddy just got the ones furthest to the right, in the first pic, tonight. They are on the floor right next to me now. They are real nice. I'm not very big, 150 pounds, and the base fits me nice. If you are any bit big at all, go with one with a wider base. The handles to lean the seat are a little weird... you have to pull out and up to lean the seat forward or back. He got the ones with the leather on the sides. They are really nice, and definantly worth the price.

$109 American, & 40 dollars shipping, may be different shipping costs to the U.S.... I'm not sure, but I think that they are all shipped from Canada.

They are just another generic knockoff.... nothing to get worked up over, but if you want nice looking seats for a good price I would recommend these.... Like I said, he only got them yestuarday though, so I can't tell you what they are like in the long run.

Seats are one thing I wouldn't buy a knockoff for. You usually sacrifice comfort and quality with the low-end brands.

There is no doubt that these aren't the same quality as seats such as Sparco, but I find them pretty comfortable, and I find them a lot more comfortable than any oem seat out of a honda i've ever sat in. Again, they are nothing special, but worth the price.

they dont look half bad, but the problem with knock offs is their stength , and ergonomics...... they are not comfortable to sit in....at least for me

I actually find these fairly comfortable.... but like I said, i'm not very big, so if you're considering these seats and aren't small like myself, you're not going to find them comfortable. They do however offer seats that are a bit wider.... I think they are displayed in one of the pics. The strengh of these seats is anyone's guess..... but if anything happens with them, i'l be sure to let you know

What he said. They look shitty, i'd rather spend my money on something a little bit more recognized such as Recaro, Sparco, Corbeau or Bride.

Sparco's are $1000 a seat canadian...... I've seen Sparcos and they look great, but these look nice enough for my car (they actually look nicer in person, than they do in the third pic). And I don't know about anyone else, but $1000 a seat is a little out of my budget. These will do just fine for my ***
