Ok so my friend has a no name bucket seat with momo rails but someone said not to install it cause it might piss off insurance people? Is this true? The seat looks like any other carbon fibre seat to me.

I have never heard of that before. But the best thing to do is call the insurance company and ask.

I wouldnt tell the insurance people any aftermarket parts I have:)  
But thats not always a good idea if you crash and then you cant claim the parts you didnt tell the insurance about.
