This guy wants to trade me a set of fixed back Bride Low Max’s for my FP Green Turbo. Thing is I do not know if these are real Brides, and if they aren’t then I do not want to make the trade. He says they are but has no paper work. All I have is the picture below, so I ask you…Are they real? or fake?

extremely fake. Did you ask him “So, where is the documentation on these $1,500 seats?” Why the hell wouldn’t he have that?

Bride seats don’t even look like that, as far as the sides go. The fabric looks crooked as well as nylon. Where is the Kevlar?

That left seat looks photoshopped towards the lower back. It is also supposed to be BLACK there, not dark gray. They also look like they’re so horribly made that the fabric is bunching up in spots.

This is a bride Low Max:

Why would you trade $1500 in seats for a \<$1000 turbo, anyway?

Id give the guy $100 for them. Otherwise keep the FPgreen not worth the trade.
