Carbon Kevlar And Carbon Fibre Bride Gias Replicas


Recommended Posts

1. Start and end date for the group buy. A maximum run time of 3 months is imposed - No more never ending group buys!

Start date is today (21/11/12) and end date is one month from now, 21/12/12.

2. Clear details of the product/s on offer

I contacted a supplier and got a fantastic deal in my opinion on 6 pairs (no more, no less) of Bride Lowmax Gias II replica bucket seats. Any more, and they won't fit on a standard carton so I'm going to limit this GB to 6 pairs (12 pieces).

Seats are available in black, blue or red material. Also, the center can be either all black or Bride gradiation material. The rears and base comes in either carbon fibre or carbon kevlar (same price).

3. The Group Buy price being offered, and the normal RRP

Genuine GIAS in kevlar go for $3600 a pair. RRP of these on eBay is around $1200+shipping for a pair, but I managed to lock 6 pairs (so 12 pieces) in at $700/pair shipped to WA + whatever customs duties we have to pay. The supplier has agreed to lower the declared value.

4. The company that is supplying the products for the group buy

gzkstar - website is http://www.gzkstar.com/

5. Where the products can be collected from - or

Collection available from 6148, WA.

6. Associated costs for delivery

Dimensions in CM are 110x60x60, 35kgs. You can use sites like E-go or Transdirect to get a quote shipped to you. As a rough guide, a pair will cost around $150 shipped to Melbourne.

7. Where possible, please include a photo of the goods being offered

I take it no ADR approval? Any idea on the structural integrity of these things? Just had a copy Sparco seat fail on me after about a year which I'm looking to replace at the moment, don't really want the same thing to happen again.

No Brides have ADR approval unfortunately mate, genuine or otherwise. A few members on here are currently running these seats and I'm only running this group buy off the positive feedback these seats have received. :)

These same seats were offered in a group buy recently for $850. At $700, I feel its a steal if we can get 6 people on board!

Fair enough. Are these the ones from the group buy about a year ago, coming from Carbontec (or similar) in China?

*EDIT* Herp a derp. I'll read the 1st post a little better shall I? :P

As far as I'm aware, you can buy rails from Supercheap or Autopro for around $100, or genuine Bride rails will fit these as well.

only this model? got ergo leather maybe? :no:

Only this model for this group buy unfortunately :(

Edited by PewPew

These should come as they usually do come with it.

Lots of people buy these here in Dubai, and general perception is the ones coming from Taiwan are of really good quality then China,

Because I'm a deadset retard, are the rails that can be purchased from Supercheap etc the ONLY additional purchases that would be needed in order to fit these seats to a standard R33? So nothing needs to be modified and additionally purchased to bolt in.

As far as I'm aware, yes. 5 spots filled, 1 last buyer needed to get this group buy into action!!

What sort of rails do these use? Side or bottom mount?

yes you can buy the universal rails but IMO dont! they do not include sliders and will need universal sliders and make the seat sit too high!!!

spend the cash and buy the SL bride rails that these were designed for to get them sitting right in the car otherwise the front will be extremely high and causes leg cramps

Sorry, havn't been online for a while. In the end I got the numbers, but the supplier decided last minute to jack up the prices - very unprofessional. So I won't be going through with the order. Sorry for any inconvenience.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
