I know how shipping is, and I wouldn't be surprised, if my seats were tossed around, like yesterday's garbage. I would have thought, that they would have been better protected. I'm gonna go home tonight, and inspect the seats. Can anyone verify this: Real bride seats, have an expiration date? Any other way of verifying that they are real?

All FIA approved seats have expiration dates. After 2 years, a seat expires. Due to stresses on the seat from the forces of you while turning and etc. it wears down the seat. Same expiration ideas go for helmets, harnesses and so on. As long as it says Bride on the seat, and has an actual FIA rating it's probably legit. I can't imagine the lawsuits of bsing an FIA approved tag.
