Real Infini Seats? Mazdaspeed edition?

Most of you know there's an Infini seat on eBay right now...
But, I was wondering if it's real?

I thought Infini seats were black or dark gray and suede-like material?
The one on eBay doesn't look suede...
Also, there's "MAZDASPEED" logos sewed in - never seen that before.
Custom reupolstered?

Here's the pics...

That last pic on the right does make the material look BLACK.

Just to compare, this is an Infini seat on YJA...

Notice the pics of the bottoms are close for both seats.

also that seat is for the passenger side so it wont bolt into the USDM driver side chassis. there have been a few of these seats popping up lately.

Nope, Mazdaspeed tweaked 20 of the last production run of the Infini IV.

From Mazdamark.com:
Similar again to the US spec 1989 and 1990 GTUs the Infini IV came with the 4.3 rear end final gear (but also used a new Torsen Limited Slip Differential), and the options kept minimal with air conditioning, Infini embroidered floor mats, and a AM/FM radio the few options available (however it did come standard with a rear window wiper and power windows). Power was bumped to 215 HP (JIS), largely by changing the exhaust to a free flowing design and revised ECU.

The Infini IV, also came with the Bronze tinted glass found in the US spec 10th Anniversary edition, and was available in one of two custom black/green metallic paint colors. Of the 600 made, the first 300 cars built on limited production runs between June - Dec 1990 were painted Mazda paint code GU (Shade Green) while the last 300 cars built starting Jan 1991 through February 1991 were paint code VQ. Of these last 300, 20 of them where sent to MazdaSpeed for the MazdaSpeed Package which only did minor cosmetic changes like MazdaSpeed embroidered seats, MazdaSpeed steering wheel and shift ****.

Maybe im not understanding your sig correctly, but "Toyo Kogyo" is Mazda Corp's old name, not an individuals name.
