probably going to get ripped on for this, but... knock-off seats?
is it a bad idea to buy knock-off bride seats like these:
Bride Gias Low Max Seats i mean, that's about half the cost of buying two legit ones, and they really look the same. is the quality that much worse? will everybody know they're knockoffs? are they less confortable? i don't plan on playing it off as the real thing, but i'm not going to go telling people they're fake, either. if it does make a huge difference, i'll probably buy a legit driver's seat and a knockoff passenger seat. |

Save your money.
Buy quality parts ONCE, instead of buying shit multiple times.

I bought the ones from that group buy because they were cheap blanks.
If I buy something that LOOKS like the real thing, it better BE the real thing.

So you don't get care if your passenger suffers major back injuries in an accident due to faulty tilt/lock mechanisms.....? Check around for people with other replica Gias seats, and almost all the time their tilt/lock mechanisms start to wear out, and the seat will flop around.

You will die instantly. And people will make fun of your dignity at your funeral. You are supposed to have pride in your 20-year old car. You do not want to drive down the street and have everyone pointing at you saying, "Look, that guy only spent 750$, instead of 2000$, on seats for his car!" do you? Stop destroying the industry.

You just asked about knockoffs on Zilvia....I'd get the seats though, they are comfortable as 'eff and who gives a shat if they are knockoffs. They are still seats. If the whole tilt thing bothers you weld that shit solid. A buddy of mine has these in his Subie and they are great. |

I would just get the stock seats wrapped in leather with LV insert. And possibly with your name embroidered on head rest. Script Font.

I don't see the point in modifying your car if you can't afford to do it right.

Maybe you'll get lucky and those will be good seats?
if they are good seats then there's nothin wrong with buying them (cept for the fact that you won't know if they are good unless you test them...by crashing, lol)

I have one of Jackson seats, bout it a while ago and let me tell you guys...they are really good seats. I have compared them to the real thing and i was really surprised. I don't know about other knock-off stuff. Peopel are right that with knock-off, you get what you pay for but JXN's seats are legit especially for the price.

seriously, all the ppl saying "knock offs are ALWAYS a bad idea" are the same ones who run primer and zip ties holding all their cracked body work on. fuck it, it's your car, run what you want. |

I would NOT buy a knock-off if its something important. Is your life really something you want to save a couple hundred on? You maybe a safe driver but its all the other dick heads out there. I wouldn't buy them.
