Default Bride Seat Authenticity

EDIT: More seats and questions, page 2!


hey guys need some help on this one.

Looking at a set of bride Gias Low Max with carbon kevlar backing and I just want to make sure they are the real deal before I buy them.

Here's a photo of one of them.

Your thoughts? Real or Fake?

the best way to tell is if there is a tag on the side of the seat with the "holding monster." its really growing into a big trend for people to make these freaking fake seats but theyre not bad compared to "authentic" ones. if youre payin an arm an a leg for seats make sure theyre real.

sorry to go off-topic, but of all the Bride seats offered in "CF" or "carbon kevlar," are they true composite bucket seats (like similar models offered by Sparco, Recaro, Corbeaux, etc.)? or are they simply a cheaper shell with a CF or carbon kevlar skin applied to them? in other words, are these particular Brides as light as everyone else's composite bucket seats, or do they just "look" light?

are you talking about Bride logo (the little ghost with a smile)?
