I just wanted to share with you regarding my recent experience...
I been looking at Recaro seats for my FD and also for my FE... Especially SPG (discontinued by Recaro) as it fits the FD without an issue.
Anyhow, I started to look on the forums and ebay and with my surprise, there are SEVERAL that being sold as 'REAL' Recaros but they are absolutely FAKE! I mean, they even have Recaro stitchings and also fake FIA tags.
For example this ebay ad:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...3209&viewitem=
It has 'RECARO' stitching and no picture of the FIA stickers.. Not only that, it should be priced 3x more!!
And another ebay ad:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/RECAR...Q5fAccessories
It states that its authentic.. So, I emailed them to ask if they could provide with pictures of the FIA sticker, a build date sticker, and inspection sticker.. Never replied back. This is also a fake recaro being sold thru Ebay.
I also saw another set on the forum as Spirit R recaros/SPG. when I asked about stickers, they could not provide me with it. Just stating to me that previous owner said it was a real recaro.
Bottomline, if you are looking for Recaro seats, ask for pics of all the stickers on the seats. Including the date it was inspected and built... usually under the seat.
And if you are selling your seat, don't rip those stickers off!!!
