Actually, the only thing now that makes fake Brides different than the real ones is the suede factor, as well as the fact that they obviously will not be as high of quality.

I'm sure you all have seen the suede ones on Ebay that are EXACT replicas of Brides, all the way to the little tag.

Xistence: Never seen the fake ones, but the real ones have BRIDE on the black plastic knob, a Bride tag on teh side of the seat, and on the bottom. I'm removing them soon to do some work and will take pics at that time!

Let me know what you guys think. I really want real Brides as the FIA approval and weight reduction is important to me.
The Exas 3 isnt FIA approved FYI. The Zeta 3, Maxis 3, and Gardis 3 are.

how is that true? Zetas and Exas' are the same seat, just different sized shoulder bolsters I thought.

theres also a difference in weight, sometimes significantly.

The Brix are definitely fake. The Exas looks real.

I see, well ain't that a summabitch! I never noticed b4. And if I'm not mistaken, Zeta's don't fit in S2000's too well do they?
