I wouldnt mind picking these knock-offs up IF they have been FIA homologated.
Tyraid2k or anyone with additional info: Are these seats FIA homologated?

i semi agree with this. seibon is yes, a "knockoff" brand, but they arnt completely crap either. i was very satisfied with my seibon hood on my last S... while it was not as light as the real deal, it did everything else just as well (looks etc)..... what im trying to say is, i think they are a large enough company not to release a seat that will break into 300 pieces in a accident.. i think they have alittle more at stake than your average ebay special brand... but i could be wrong... lol

It's not "FIA homologated". Read above. Buddy Clubs will be a better cheaper alternative for those who are $$$ sensative. 300-400 bucks is not worth your life.

How about is a set of real carbon fiber seats for our S anyway?
how much? I'm not sure, but carbon kevlar is pretty close, so these aren't fake per say, they may be modeled on another seat...
