i was under the impression that real brides were only made in japan, and the ebay ones just say taiwan for validity, but the quality is complete ****, but i could be wrong. my friend bought "taiwanesse" bride seats one time and the stitching was really sloppy. they were pretty cheap though, like 250 a seat, so maybe we're not talking about the same thing.

 

yea the ones i found look legit

they do make replica seats. buy the one from japan

 

My friend had a replica for his passenger while he had an authentic Bride Zeta. Within a few months, the replica had faded from an identical looking red to a lighter shade and it was very noticeable.

I've also seen/heard horror stories of these replicas folding like cardboard when you get into a crash. If it's safety equipment, I'd rather not cheap out and get replicas. Bride DOES test crash their seats and maintain a high standard. Yes, they're pretty damn expensive but aside from brand whoring there is a reason for that price.
