See, the new replica ones out now have carbon kevlar backing. I was enquiring from a site sponsor on another forum, and they had the carbon kevlar backing, but he openly admitted to me they were fake.

The ones I'm looking at buying have come out of someones project car that he never even installed.

I do have one other photo of the seat, so I'll upload it in a sec.

general consensus from the research I have found, yes.

lol they are fake no doubt..If you google it theres a page that tells you the different, and as i stated above those 3 raised dots usually mean its fake..So if your looking for the real deal look else where but if you don't mind that they are fake and if the price is cheap why not..

some good info in this thread never noticed the three raised dots. these bride fakes are getting so good, that there are a lot of people getting ripped off by ppl passing fakes off as real.

From my research I have also found they usually have a sticker on the rail under the bolster, and the bracket connecting the bolster to the backing is usually engraved with "Bride" into the aluminium bracket itself.

The metal bracket piece on the side should have BRIDE engraving into it.
