Status Racing Seats Install
 
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!

travisjb 05-13-2010 12:10 AM

nice

RCZ 05-13-2010 08:03 AM

Looks excellent, what are you attaching that harness to?

LiquidZ 05-13-2010 08:08 AM

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

theDreamer 05-13-2010 08:31 AM

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

FuszNissan 05-13-2010 08:45 AM

Nice, can't wait to see them installed.

Ryan@IP 05-13-2010 09:13 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 09:24 AM

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

:iagree: 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!!! :happydance:

I would think that's for one seat.

DRoc7822 05-13-2010 01:06 PM

Yeah im around 95% its only for 1 seat. Those seats are rediculousely expensive!!

XwChriswX 05-13-2010 01:08 PM

Err... Well then nevermind lol I thought that was for a set, that is outta my price range for a part that is more want than need atm... :ugh2:
