Default Aftermarket seats?

I've done some searching around google but I don't really know exactly what I should be asking and couldn't find specific results so I decided to just make a topic.
I found some Bride Gias seats, they are red. FRP backing, he has all the paperwork for them and what not. $1000 for two. A couple of questions.
  1. Is that a good price? -they are brand new, still in the packaging.
  2. He states that it is JUST the seats, no brackets, -what do I need to buy to make this a fully functional seat?
  3. Which specific brackets/rails would I have to buy?

I read that these seats will fit perfectly without any rubbing issues.
I also read that there may be a specific bracket that I have to use with these seats that can only be ordered from Japan.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Brand new? Then they're likely fake at $1000 for both.

I tried googling SOME things, but I have no idea the difference of brackets/rails/sliders. So I didn't really know what to look for.

Reclining seats take reclining rails and most reputable online shops tell u which rails accept which seat. As for the seats being real or not I'm by all means no expert on brides so not sure there. But those seats should accept bride ro rails.

the seats are fake. besides just how they look, the label says CFRP while the seat is FRP. out of all things, please don't buy fake reclinable seats. the hinges are never as strong as the need to be and you don't want one of these failing in an accident.
