Was cruising the web for seats, and I ran across this SPARCO add. The prices if real, are an absolute steal

I've said this a million times:
There is basically no margin in aftermarket performance parts - most vendors pull less than 30% gross margin. Some items are well under 10%. If you see any part for sale at a vendor that is significantly less than competitors, it's some sort of scam.

Scams vary widely from used parts, to counterfeit, to simply taking your money and never shipping a part.

Seems like a way too good of a price for the seats.
