Don't buy fake seats unless the idea of being folded in half during an accident sounds appealing to you. The cost for "real" seats takes into account the actual R&D and crash testing that went into them in addition to the generally superior materials and craftsmanship.

Is the cost is the only way to know? Can you give some tips how to know? Thanks!

Cost is not the way to tell. I could buy fake Bride seats and sell for 4k which would not make them authentic.

1. Buy from a Bride authorized dealer. Done
2. If you buy used the owner should have receipts and if not tell them to get them for proof of authentic purchase.
3. The fake seat will not say Made in Japan.

This should help

I believe so they don't get a lawsuit they can not legally alter/make up where it was made. The fake Bride seats a couple years ago said made in Canada or Taiwan. NOT made in Japan. Find me a fake that says Made in Japan
