    First look says it's good, but second look raises a lot of doubts.
    Sliders are not Recaro, they are just stripped and plated scheel sliders, Gelcoat is too glossy and structure is not OE recaro - sorry man that's a repop IMO.

    You can unscrew the sliders and see, if there are three holes or two and if there are additional holes of former recaro sliders - should be 3 holes not two at each end for genuine RS LWT so with sheel sliders added there would be 4 holes or so.

    Todd,
    I think uai is saying to remove ( unscrew ) the slider from the seat and see how many holes are in the fiberglass seat base.
