3 most obvious to me reasons are that the shells arent silver flaked, wrinkles all in the bolsters, and the fabric underneath the seats looks extremely shoddy.

I clearly stated in my description that I cannot verify authenticity. I stated I had purchased them for about full retail price assuming they are real, and now an open to offers because of the issue of not being able to verify that 100%. I didn't ïgnore" your post, I took it, as well as other replys from searches I have gotten into consideration before deciding to sell. Im not sure how that is ""shady".. Yes, I decided to just buy other seats ,being I dont want to dump the money into these being I cannot verify authenticity 100%. I am open to any offer, as I stated in my original post. I posted many pictures of everything, not trying to decive anyone. I fully disclosed that I dont know if they are real or fake. Ive had many tell me they are real, and many tell me they are fake. Just because I didnt take what you posted as gospel doesnt mean you were ignored. I thank you for the information you provided, It helped me make the decision to sell them and not put thousands of dollars in what may or may not be $500 seats. As stated, am open to offers for them as is, as even if "fake", are still nice looking seats. Just not for what I intend to use them for.

here's my response:

the way the fabric sits on the seat makes it look fake to me. it's pretty loose and has wrinkles in some areas. Very unusual for a real bride seat.

Also, it looks like it's a mixture of a VIOS III sport (black FRP) with a regular VIOS III (has shoulder non-slip fabric).

Regular VIOS III should be silver glitter back with the shoulder non slip fabric and split leg cushion while VIOS III sport should be black FRP with NO non-slip fabric.

Just noticed the label says it's supped to be a regular VIOS III. (non sport). so it should have a glitter back and split leg cushion. Looks fake to me!!! sorry for the bad news. Hopefully you didn't overpay by that much...

Fair enough. However, i think the evidence is indisputable that the seats are fake. You should go ahead and edit your for sale thread. Once you do, i will remove my posts from this thread--otherwise, its probably best that the 'evidence' from your other thread should stay here so all S2ki members can make an educated decision on whether the seats are real or fake since you are still not convinced either way.
