Be aware there are some new fake Takata's out that seem to be closer to the real deal than the rest:
They still don't have the double stitching on the ends, however they now have the 4 crosses rather than 3 or 7, the stitching isn't as bold or broad on the fake:
The buckles are not plastic, they are now quite heavy metal, they usually have a glossy carbon sticker but this one fell off:
The FIA tags are on the correct way now, still a died green though and only stitched at the top, they say they are valid to 2017 which is generally too long a validation for harnesses:
There isn't a no serial number on the metal strip, this is the same with the clips aswell:
They are a brighter green than the real deal aswell. They also have silver bolts unlike the other fakes:
I couldn't find any info on these comparing against the real version so I thought I'd post it up, hope it helps someone else.

The guy said they were the same as his genuine ones he had. I sent them back for a refund anyways. I should of got more pics off him really before buying but I read up about the 4 X stitching etc and though they were real from his pics.

Just random question:
Why should you be aware of these harnesses?
If I can not afford real ones, I buy these, as I like the looks. I still haven't got them, but it seems that the quality is good and they won't snap on accident, and this is what you want from seat belts, right? :?

People should be aware of these so you don't end up paying genuine prices for a fake product. Also I wouldn't choose to buy a fake safety item, however they didn't seem too bad quality.
