Is This Bride Fake?

[No Crust Racing]

Going for $500, reckons he paid $1200 odd for it and it's still in plastic (has gotten a bit dusty from being stored at a panel beaters) has the plastic still on the back of it too. Said he bought it and was too big for it.

I've looked at countless threads and if it is fake it appears to be a better quality fake than some I am seeing.

The hole in the base and the surround on that seems a bit dodge as does the location of the velcro (according to this thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Br...html&st=20).

And is a fake worth $500 is the other question when I could go buy a base model cobra fixed back with mounts for $570. (But I don't tjhink it can be used with rails..

Thought so

what is the give away????

[No Crust Racing]

From what I have seen there's a few things.

The Bride tag is missing the "made in japan" part

the harness hole on the bottom should have a hard plastic surround.

the quality of the stitching isn't the same, the material on the cusions is slightly different and the location of the velcro is also different.

There's no sticker above the left hand (when looking at the seat dead on) harness hole either

that's just for starters.

Pretty good one though, they've gone into alot more details than most of them out there!!!

I thought so too, but I'd rather not risk it.
