Default Authentic bride seats?

What do you Guys think? Think they're real? I know there are tons of fakes out there and I really don't want to pick up the fake ones. And also how much do you think they're worth. They're clean!

First picture, "Made in Japan". Authentic. The stitching of the "Bride" logo looks good from the other photos.

Some replicas were made in Taiwan

I saw the exact same listing on craigslist. I feel like the price too good to be true.

Yeah it's been on there for a while.
Do you guys know of any other way to tell besides the tag?

Im leaning toward fake. i saw his post within the first 15 min when he post it back then.
main reason i state is this picture


If you look at where the adjuster are is seems like it have those infamouse 3 dots.

Also Gias didnt come with a all black backing if i remember correctly with gradiation. Only the sport model Stradia did. correct me if im wrong guys

A way you can ask him for proof is the bottom bride sticker on the seats if it say CFRP then its a fake. This seems to be a really good rep also as the gradation follow the authentic.

they're 100% fake. The logo stitching is bad and the Bride gradation logos don't go into the black on the leg cushions. i'm sure if you get a shot of the side hinge, you'd find the tell-tale 3 "knobs" on the side. Also, on the seat back cushion, the fake has 8 Bride logos before it hits the black logos, whereas the real seats have only 7 logos before it hits the black.

if it's too good to be true, it is.
