I think if any JDM company has a right to be pissed about part replication, it has to be Bride. It is so bad that they have a link on every page of their site telling how to tell real from fake.

I may be wrong but i believe that the gray bit with "BRIDE" is another place to tell fakes. The top line should not seem cut off/short.

As we all thought, they are fake.

Not Taiwanese, nor Canadian, but Chinese replicas.

The ones I have are a 1 to 1 copy made in china.

Genuine sell for $2.4k each and the only difference with mine are is they don't have a serial number.

Genuine aren't ADR approved, neither are these obviously.

FYI the canadian ones are plastic crap and weigh a tonne. The ones that guy is selling (S2ki note: the site sponsor I mentioned earlier) has the cheap taiwanese material which rubs off very easily with jean buttons etc.

I don't think China made product has the right to give shit about replicas made in Canada or Taiwan.... He sounded as if China made is the new made in Japan....

Look at this way - if it were real and worth as much as they are, why wasn't it parted out from the previous owner and an OEM seat put in its place?
