I can see from the decals that they are legit.

The rails are worth as much as the seats themselves.

You're in Japan, so you have plenty of others to choose from.

$2500

Are they only worth 2500? I would have expected more.

They're in great condition. I say don't buy it for a daily. I made that mistake with my Infini FC seat.

How much would you say they're worth?

$3500 on the high end. I had a set for many years.... the fabric wears well, and was pretty resilient when I dumped a large dunkin' donuts iced coffee on the passenger side

The coloring fades easily however. Definitely best to keep them out of direct sunlight as much as possible.

Be aware they're not real carbon/kevlar. It's an overlay stuck over the standard fiberglass. For the street they're awesome, but for any kind of circuit course you'll want side mount seats to avoid cracking your Spirit-Rs.

In the US they're worth more, but he's not in the US.

He's in Japan.

Here in Japan? You're getting a good price on those. I've seen a few go up for slightly cheaper, but the driver's side was clearly worn.
