My brother recently bought a set of F1spec seats from these guys in SSF - FIA racing seats, carbon fiber racing seats, off road racing seats, black racing seats
He paid $400 for the pair. Good buckets for the price.

I thought Black market was counterfeits made in china, and Grey market was unauthorized transaction by legal standards, that didn't go through taxing to abide American Trading standards.

Well grey market in china and grey market in the us are two different things. If they meant these seats are only grey in other countries then it's black here haha the us doesn't like counterfeit items the people police raid and seize counterfeits all the time. The people who are selling are just wording it like that to make it seem ok. But in reality they're just counterfeit sparcos. Keep looking on cl and you will see bride STYLED seats. They have the word bride and everything but they're fake. The ad makes it seem like legit brides but the word styled means counterfeit they only put it for legal reasons but they really are trying to pass off a fake as real

Car Info: looking for a gc
its the same guys that sell the f1spec seats... i usually let people form their own opinion on things, but i would just like to say i broke 2 of their seats within a couple days (then again, i weigh 250+).. they did replace them no hassle. The backs have no support, flex like a rubber band... from my experience, i'd rather spend $$$ on real seats
