All the fakes i have seen before have had something that gives it away on the pad, be it the print, the stitching or just the way they look in genral.

I know the yellow looks brighter but so does the blue and the red

Looking at the 2 here if they are fake they are foooooking good   :LolLolLolLol:

When I first saw them I thought fake, I kept looking and could not see anything wrong about them . If someone has faked them I would have thought that someone on here would have seen others about somewhere. Would it not cost a fortune to just make 1 set?

I have paid for them now anyway...... So we will see when they get here  :LolLolLolLol:

They look real from here  Matt  ;)

the foam might be a give away though

( Like you said everything about them is a little brighter )


What are they worth if they are real

around £200 ?  :)

Either way , nice buy  :daumenhoch:

That guy that does them does not put "Flite" on them. I might be wrong but I thought he sort of had permission as long as he did not do that. I am not saying that he might not have done some though? but then would you risk it if you had a good thing going on?

My pads turned up from the states today. The guy I got them off was a bit strange to deal with. He put the pic up that was on the first page and then when I asked about them told me I would be getting ones in the original Flite packaging. I asked for a pic of them and he was too busy????????????  :idiot2:

My heart sank when a lot of you said FAKE. I am smiling again now though  :)
