LOL i doubt anyone or atleast very few here will say they have fake ones if they do.. AS for how they compare to the real one...From the ones i've seen online and in person they arn't far off (bucket versions). Fake ones are getting better and better each day....

I think the only difference between the too really is the fake ones aren't carbon kevlar just plastic, other than that I can't see any difference, you can find them on ebay for like 760 a pair

Can't say that. Not all bride seats come in CF.. some come in FRP which the fake ones do come in as well and for the FRP version they look almost exactly the same as the real deal

That's true didn't think that much into it but I guess if you didn't want to pay all that money then you prob could pull off the fake ones as real

Bride comes in FRP. However, the fake ones have a painted backing (usually in black), which are similar to the authentic Bride Sport seats. Supposedly, they came off the same assembly line.

some magazine did a comparison test on real vs fake seats, I believe it came out saying that doing a few mods to the fake seats (ie welding a few spots) they are just as good as the real deal.
