Based on price and description, I would say they are replicas. I thought Bride seats were made in Japan, not Canada.

They're fake...but the detail on them is good enough that if you dont care that they're fake, go for it. Just beware that the cloth tends to fade quickly on the knockoffs, and who knows how truly safe they are.

I went through the same thing when i bought my seats, but mine werent nearly that cheap, and they came through as the real thing...yea!

Finally heard back from the seller. They're replicas. I think I will stick with my first 2 choices Corbeau CR1 or Sparco Sienas.

Probably not a bad idea. I heard something a long time ago about knock-off seats breaking in accidents.

Friend had some fake red brides brix's and the red would transfer on to your clothes...like they were spray painted or some crap. I have authentic Bride's and they were almost identical but his red was off a bit and the monster tag was fake.

Maybe that explains the "fading" issue that I have heard mentioned several times. The color doesn't fade, it just wears off
