Status Racing Seats Install

Reaper42 · 05-13-2010, 12:19 AM

Hey so I FINALLY got my seat in today, after placing my order 5 weeks ago, with a promise that it would take no more than 2 weeks, but I gotta say I am impressed. Seat was packaged nicely, with no damage to the seat at all. Also ordered the seat with a 5 point harness which is of amazing quality. Also the carbon fiber weave on the seat itself is incredible, and is protected by 7 layers of clear coat, not one defect in this cf.

Although the customer service over at Status is shitty as hell (theres only like two people that work there, and they rarely answer the phone to answer questions and take a week in order to return phone calls) I have to say I am happy with the seat now that it is finally here. I ordered the Ring GT, which the GT is the version that is wider. Guy over at Status says its for 36+ waist size, I'm a 38" and I have to say I am uncomfortable seatin in this. Good thing I am awesome at loosing weight so give it a month and ill be down to a 34 and this seat should be perfect for me. (Just a heads up for any bigger guys out there thinking of getting BRIDE, those seats are smaller than even the regular status ring seats and I'm havin trouble gettin into this big one) BTW I am 5'11'' and 215 lbs as of now. The leather is very high grade and matches really well with the leather on the dash and around the radio/shifter. Also if you get it with white stiching it matches the cubby hole and side bolsters perfectly!

My exact order for the seat (since the awesome thing about Status is you can customize EVERY aspect of the seat and they dont charge extra for customization)

Model: Ring GT
white stiching
white logo
Black leather with black alcantara incerts

Here are a bunch of pics! Enjoy!

The box

Black Alcantara Inserts

White Stiching

Laser Engraved Logo

Another Box!

Aluminum side rails

Really nice box for the 5 point harness

Inside the nice box, is a nice bag for your harness!

All put together

UPDATED INSTALLED PICS! ENJOY!

They Look really nice!! Enjoy them.

I'll have to wait a while before I get into changing mine.

travisjb · 05-13-2010, 01:10 AM

nice

RCZ · 05-13-2010, 09:03 AM

Looks excellent, what are you attaching that harness to?

LiquidZ · 05-13-2010, 09:08 AM

The seat looks great. I believe Stillen uses Status seats in their Targa GT-R.

theDreamer · 05-13-2010, 09:31 AM

Look good, just wish Status would have a reclining seat.

FuszNissan · 05-13-2010, 09:45 AM

Nice, can't wait to see them installed.

Ryan@IP · 05-13-2010, 10:13 AM

Very nice seat. The leather/alcantara combo is hard to beat! We're trying out some Status seats in the near future as well.

jnaut · 05-13-2010, 10:24 AM

Sooo.... Grand Total: $2000~ Not bad for everything, but is that for 1 seat or for both?

Looks sweet! I'd like to have this same setup probably myself!

Where are you mounting them is an excellent question though, or did you just have the harness draped over the seat? Cause iirc, mounting your harness to the seat itself is a BIG nono... Seat goes loose, YOU go loose?

Can't wait to see in car pics! That CF Would look sweet in a black Z...

Hey wait.... I have a black Z!!!

I would think that's for one seat.

DRoc7822 · 05-13-2010, 02:06 PM

XwChriswX · 05-13-2010, 02:08 PM
