Just wondering what u guys think about the fake Mazdaspeed seats for sale on ebay.

I was thinking of getting them for my 1988 vert, cause my stock leather ones are ripped.

any thoughts???

ghetto

 

they are fake, but i really dont think they look bad. There is a car on here with them and they actually look pretty nice. cant remember what it was though.

 

it was probably an rx7

 

LMAO... you smart ***

 

not exactly....

If you read the last thread on this, it says that the guy who sells these gets the generic seats and then puts different logos on them, so it could be any kind of car...

 

they don't look bad at all. I don't know what the differance is but I bet your just paying for the name with mazdaspeed.

 

The seats are the original sparco torino knockoff or standard cheap DAD knockoff.... They are decent seats if your not a namebrand freak. If I had 500 to buy some seats....I would probally get those instead of a set of used name brand seats.

 

Don't those look alot like the seats at Pepboys?

They ARE FAKE. My boss bought a set like looked just like them. Quality is terrible, they fit horrible and the ride/comfort is again, terrible.

I DO NOT recommend purchasing these unless you like to bend-over and .... just IMO, and Scott's

Yeah i might clear up what i meant....I would buy the DAD seats which are the original SPARCO knock offs I have no clue about the ebay mazdaspeed seats.

 

hardly

ghetto would be the $10 junkyard set from a pinto. Granted, some people will swear by name-brand stuff, but these are far from Ghetto. Looks 100x better than my ripped up 'vert seats do now.

I'm just waiting for someone to say, don't buy 'em because they're not FIA approved...

in all, probably okay seats. Hard to find a decent set for that price -- probably not the best quality in the world, but you're also not paying $600 per seat.

 

I still say they're ghetto.

I'd be embarrased to have them in my car. I'd rather buy another set of stock seats before getting these if I were worried about tears.

 

Go to Pepboys and try on their seat before you order one. I believe they are similar tubular structure and memory foam pads. The passenger seat will not fit directly. You will have to make brackets to anchor the passenger seat. I have the driver seat replaced with one of these generic ones because my bottom springs rotted out. They don't look too bad, but I would prefer the original seats or the TII seats.

 

i saw those when i was seaching for random 7 parts. i didnt know they were fake cause ive never really seen mazdaspeed seats or i just havnt memorized what they look like. isnt that illegal though? put a brand name on something and try to sell it for a high price just cause it has that name stiched on it.

 

i think i might just go with the corbeau gtsII seats, they look more like they are stock seats, but are still supportive as racing seats, the link is below.

there a little more pricey,but i think its worth it if the ebay ones are questionable in quality

they look a lot more 1988 than those ebay ones
