Those look pretty good. Sometimes we just gotta make due with what we can afford.

You gotta ball on a budget....just make sure you're not sacrificing safety for a knock-off.

The seats look fresh plus no one who's looking at your car from the outside will ever be able to tell the difference regardless my point is Get EM!!!!

Love the irony of the wording.
I say pass. Get a true legit seat, even if its OEM like a Supra. There are a few budget brands (Corbeau are my favs) that make some VERY nice seats that are nearly as high in quality as Recaro's, Bride's, or Status but cost wayyy less.

Why do I say this?

ALL OEM seats are safety tested.
MANY aftermarket seats are safety tested. (even expired FIA approval still proves testing)
NONE of the knockoff seats are safety tested.

Feel like rolling the dice just so you can impress someone that doesn't know what a Bride really is anyway? These are a great choice.

The side seatback brackets are an obvious dead giveaway as a knockoff so anyone that actually knows what Bride's are (or even knows how to pronounce it properly) can spot the knockoffs from a block away.

I understand fake body kits and wheels, but fake SEATS? C'mon.

I've had Corbeaus that look similar to that in three of my cars- just get up and walk around occasionally, because the *** starts to hurt.

Other than that, they were really good- one even survived a pretty bad crash in my Civic.
