My brides don't have any CF or cool colors on them... Damn it I should go and return them now.

I'll sell you those too

I can do some status racing seats in pink with purple poka dots if you're interested

Glitter and spray enamel can fix that.

Just wondering why people don't like Cobra seats? They are well made and they are what I use on the track. FIA approved, fit me well, fit in the car fine (Suzuka).

Yes, but it was trying to be sarcasm... was apparently lost.

Anyway... HEY VIVID... You can't get custom Status Racing seats now.

Although a custom Bride seat would be t*ts.

Anyone know a place in Socal where I can sit in some seats to see how they feel? I know about Werkz in Burbank, but they only have some Sparcos. A place with Recaros and Brides would be great. It's a big investment without being able to test it out for fit.

I can get whatever Status Racing seats i want.. We own Status. As long as you pay for the material, we can build it.

Interesting, my HPDEs I've gone to don't require a roll cage but do require similar restraints
