I ordered those Nagisa super low rails for my f1spec buckets.

The seats look like Bride vio's 3's in red, Theyre pretty tight fit and I think we're almost the same height/weight. I love them!

yo just stop by sometime, you gotta take pics of my new car anyways!

 

they arent gucci they're Coach lol

 

Brides came in yesterday. OHHH YEAH.



Wow they are small. I'd always heard Brides are for skinny Japanese guys, and I can verify that the replicas are the same. I'm a ~30-32 waist and my hips barely fit. Don't buy these if you're a big guy! I sat in the seat on my living room floor, and when I stood up it stuck to me. Just to give you an idea of how tight they are.

The quality seems very good for replicas. Tags and everything look authentic. It's actually kinda crazy how real they look. The fiberglass is THICK too.

Pics up later.

 

Only bad thing i heard about those fake Bride's is the material starts to fade real bad, but upholstering is'int that expensive. Are these FIA approved?

 

Sean, let me know when you get them put it, I wanna check 'em out.

 

ditto, if they are legit like i said i might take a similiar route

 

Eh, the covers can't be worse than Sparco's. They're made out of toilet paper, I swear. I've owned two of them now, and the covers are complete shit and wore big holes in them and sun faded very quickly.

And no to the FIA approved. But that really doesn't matter. Here's why.

-The majority of real Bride seats aren't FIA approved. Neither are the majority of the Memory Fab, Status, or many of the other higher end and JDM seat manufacturers.
-FIA approval isn't needed until you're doing wheel to wheel racing anyways. Drift events and any track days I'd see, no one really cares if your seat is homologated.
-After 5 years, even FIA seats don't meet spec, and the back needs to be braced to the roll cage just like a Non-FIA seat.
- FIA standard also states that not only the seat needs to be homologated, but the mounts as well. So if you made your own mounts, or bought mounts that aren't marked as such, the entire assembly still does not comply with the standard.

In my opinion, FIA approval is a non-issue and people that whine about seats not having FIA certs are just looking for an excuse to whine (not saying you're whining, just pointing out that there are tons of know-it-all's on the internet who think FIA seats are the only way to go).

 

Pics now, I need to see if I like these. Might sell my cobreaus to buy a set

 

Taken from the eBay auction, but they're about as good as any picture I'm going to take is I'll get pics of them mounted once we make the brackets.

 

buying two of these is an awesome way to keep fat girls out of your car.
or to ensure we take my car if we go somewhere.
