Recaro fake or real?

[robbie_g]

the real one will be made of suade, & tweed in the middle (ur back goes) any fakes i seen did have the tweed

 

[TUTE]

they both look the same to me. if the black ones are fake. i'd def run them. unless its more obvious close up

 

[type-r-mad]

genuine ones in black have the material covering the harness part, and you can see the bolsters are a slightly different shape

but in saying that if you check Capital Seating and Vision > Seating, Vision and Accessories for Hardworking Environments recaro do make recaro speed's in a non type r seat, and you can specify exactly what you want, and colour and material, so if you see one slightly different it doesnt mean its fake, but i still think they all come with the triangular back adjuster

so that black one pictured does look fake, but who cares, its not really the seat that saves you in an accident, its the harness, so i cant see much wrong with a fake apart from build quality.

lol these are both real.....the black suede are from 96-97 itr and the red are from 98-01 itr and ctr.....u can tell if there fake by the slider/bracket and the adjuster it should say recaro..but usually fake arent suade their just cloth

You're an idiot.

you no when you have fake ones becuase you sit in it and are just dissapointed you didnt pay that little bit more for the real thing

I also noticed on the fake black ones, that there is no red stitching running along the sides like the real ones... But egshane is right, it just doesn't feel the same when you sit in a fake, the experience is lost in my opinion...

ya thats what the guy said, whats the differences between the itr and the ctr recaro seats?

and how could you tell they were integra type r seats?

you can tell those are integra's cause there black, but there is no difference in the seats themselfs, the red ones are identical, just the rails that are different
