How to tell if bride seat are fake?
Well I just wanted to know is there anything to look out for when buying them? any info?
|
if they dont creak its fake! lol no seriously that is what ppl say
|
I'm not sure if the Fake ones have the FIA sticker on them or not (I think that is the correct sticker, could be wrong though).
|
I don't know how all fakes are but i've seen fakes that you can tell by closely looking at stitching and logo placement. Often times you will notice a few or many abnormalities in the placement and stitching. Also try to look for one of those genuine stickers.
|
i've heard that real ones are made in japan... fake ones say another country?
|
Its in the stitching. Seen a few fakes and one real one in my time
|
Bride seats aren't all that great... They are JDM and all, but they make a ton of noise (like someone else said) and cost a lot of money! Why not go for a Sparco or Recaro? Better support for those seats too and the Brides tend to run small.
Did you know that they are actually pronounced "Brid"? Not "BrIde"? |

It seemed like it was "Canada" was where the Fake Brides were coming from. |

There is an image showing some plastic 'button' things and other small details which help you tell between the fakes and the real ones. And do $1k seats really squeak? :suspicious: |
I haven't had to much experience with fixed backs, but IMO Recaros > all.
|
Instead of saying "Bride" on the seat they say "3ride"

Generally Euro > all. Funny, many of the uber JDM parts on my car have given me problems, all the US/Euro stuff, none. And lets not get into Subaru's build quality on the STi. I think a Ford Fiesta more refined. :barf: |
Yeah im getting recaros, but i was just checking out some brides for my friend and I thought I could get some useful info on here haha :]
Thanks everyone for the imput |
