Read a few threads on fake vs. real but they all say different things and obviously there are many different types of replicas. Anyone can tell me if these look genuine?

flip the seat up and look for a recaro sticker stuck to the base. also there is a thread on honda-tech that explains how to tell by looking at the base support

Even if this has happened, the base support should still be the same.

Here is the link I was talking about: http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2892676

Had a look. MINT condition... couldn't find "sr3" anywhere on the bottom but the base support is this one according to honda tech which is genuine.

The guy showed me the black sr3s in his car and said they have plastic harness holes too. Dunno bout this one... he wants $420 lowest no rail

I'm dissapointed. When I saw "fake or real" on the thread header, I thought this was a new +18 thread :(

^why the asian thread?

The best looking women on Earth. Make great wives, great sex, usually not as slutty as white girls, can cook good food, and make white girls undesirable in comparison.

The best type of girl there is. Considered more attractive than the average Caucasian girl. Your average Asian girl has strait, black, silky hair; beautiful, almond shaped eyes; a warm skin tone; and a perfect, lean figure. A lot of Asian girls lack cartilage (rubbery tissue simaler to bone) in their noses, which causes it to look flat, or, "squished" (I think it looks cute ;). They're stereotyped to have no breasts, but you can rest assured that this is false. Just like any other race, there are, sadly, girls who just never developed a chest. Anyway, most Asian girls are very patient, and hard to piss off. If you get the chance to date one, for God sakes don't push your luck. If you make one cry, you'll never forgive yourself. I PROMISE YOU THAT. Well anyway, I personally love Asian girls and think they should be treated with respect. Their the best women you could ever ask for.

OT: going to pick up a black sr3 tomorrow instead. not mint condition but for the price i can't complain

^ DAFUQ was that about? lol

On the topic of breasts I've seen probably three Asian girls at work (patients) with breast implants which have been done very nicely. There's always hope!


As for the SR3 sounds kewl man. Enjoy your comfortless ride. But I guess you're full Asian so probably not such a big deal.

This guy... unbelievable. I can't tell real from fake (both boobs and recaros). Do fake ones feel all hard and shit?

Never driven long distance in a bucket so we'll see. Can always sell it anyway. Now trying to find a driver seat rail for cheap :cool:

Fake boobs are usually easy to tell, especially in Asian chicks. They're very round and don't sag much at all for their size (normally oversized too). Also it often states in their patient history that they've had implants. They feel good, firmish but not too firm to be suspicious from feeling alone. Remember, an implant is a roundish kind of disc (made from silicone) that is implanted under the boob itself, so what you're feeling superficially is real tissue. The implant is underneath the real boob.

As for recaros, dude it's so hard to tell from looking if some of these are fakes. Good thing to do the research that you're doing now. From my personal experience they're quite hard especially on the bolsters, so for somebody of decent height/build it can be uncomfortable because you can't move your shoulders/legs much. But for you it should be fine.
Personally I'd prefer any of my OEM seats to a Recaro, except the rare AUDM wide-body Recaros, they're quite simply beautiful like a well done implant :D

But yes, I like Asian imports.

Also, I've always found the little lines near the headlights of the facelifted DC2/4 to be reminiscent of the folds of an Asian girl's eyes. A pretty feature on an otherwise very non-feminine, shark-like front end.

Seat is 100% genuine, its an old style SR2. Not many around but I've seen a couple, mostly in black. It used to be mine.. It was never re-trimmed, but I did put a new bolster in the RH side because the old one was squashed.

IMO after owning 5 other recaros. 4 SR4's and 1 SR3 this was my favourite seat. It is same shape as the SR3 but the fabric is nice and soft and doesn't stain like the suede does. I had it coupled with a Vision super low rail in my EG and it was a sweet combo.
