not really sure why its designed that way I could see if it was like a nascar seat to support the head but that wont supporrt anything

It says its to distribute weight evenly?? how?

I dont like it either way... but im not the type to knock something different let us know how it is in your car and how you like it!!

At least they dont say Bride on them like the Ebay knockoffs....those things on ebay are damn near a perfect replica....

Sparco R100 are cheap as chit and look better than that imho. But no carbon fiberz.

Yea that is one of the reasons I got this one, don't sport the BRIDE logo less it is authentic. I respect Aero Designs for that much and removing the name down the middle for the Large.

Understandable and if I could locate anything that showed a replica seat failed and killed someone then this would hold up but I could not. Please post up if you can find anything.

Looks good OP. Looking forward to a more long term review.

Regarding the Bride replicas....Man some of them are so nearly identical (labels and stickers and materials almost identical) that whenever I see a bride seat whether real or not, I automatically question if they're legit. It's as if some spy stole the Blueprints from Bride jp. Bride was my favorite seat company too...what a shame...

my bride XAX's are great though
Going to have to say, he bought the wrong size. Then again, most don't know how a race seat is suppost to fit.

Sorry updates are going to take a little as I need mounting brackets. Thought I could use the OEM bracket and split it at the slider but still trying to confirm.

Anyone ever use OEM mounts with after market sliders? Also I do not think the Z likes the helmet guards up top as I am seeing possible diver side widow issues.

To say the least I am looking into brackets and sizing atm, this test might be going to my Civic Si for a nice daily driver test and if quality works then I will get a set without the helm guards for the Z.

Currently I am doing to many things at once >< and going a little crazy atm. Snapped a damn bolt on a koyo 36mm V core and trying to become an electrician via the Mishimoto fan shroud that has my entire front end in my room atm.

Also I am building a 8 x 5 castle for my cat and getting ready to rip off the rear bumper/diffuser for some Seibon love.

Just shoot me now and end the headache.
