knockoff Nismo/Bride seats
Has anybody seen or used these from Ebay? I know they're knockoffs, but IMO they actually look pretty good. The ones I'm talking about are the "leather" Nismo ones and also the Bride ones. I was just looking for someone with experience with them. Please don't give the typical "just get the real ones". My stockers are rubbed and I don't see giving $1500 for a set of seats. I just want to know how the fake ones hold up and how they feel. Thanks and if you don't have anything productive to add click the little green arrow at the top left of your screen.

Here's a link to the "Nismo" ones and I'm sure most are familiar with the "Bride" ones.

Although I have the real thing, those look purty damn good. And if you wind up not liking them you have'nt invested your life savings like I did. Make sure you ask about rails.

Yeah, I've looked at those as well; they DO look pretty nice. As stated above, I'd be concerned about inferior material wear on the Bride knock-offs, but if the Nismo ones are leather or even vinyl, you'd think they would hold up ok. Just have to make sure they'd fit ok, rails, etc. You typically get what you pay for, but hell, for that price, I think they'd be worth a look. Keep us posted if you try them out!

I put one of these in a buddy's track car and it held up quite well. I also have one brand new black one here if you are interested. Super good deal on it.

I would be interested, but it seem like you can only buy then new in sets.

Here's another set sort of like the other ones, but it's a little different style.

You just said earlier that they aren't that bad, but tacky. I don't see how it's tacky, they look pretty good to me. Now you're saying how bad they are. Have you ever actually used these seats? And what my stock drivers seat has won't be cured by being cleaned.
