No but I'm pretty sure it's the same place that's been advertising on Craigslist lately. I remember seeing a pic of those knockoff Bride and Recaro seats lined up like an army in a Condo dining room in one of the ads.

I have dealt with Mpautosport on a couple occasions and have referred them to a friend who was also very satisfied. If you are looking for replica products, I don't think there is a better place to find them sold locally. Thumbs up from me.

Friend bought a pair of Bride reps for his EVO9
the only telltale sign is that the "Bride" fabric isn't as squared as the real deal....otherwise lightweight FRP seat just what you'd expect....
but of course if you are in an accident and the hinge fails then GG.

excuse my noob question but what are the downsides of getting a replica seat? That it might snap or warp due to high stress? the material degrades faster than the real thing? Or are people able to tell it apart and mock my cheap ass?

It will not hold up in an accident.
