what do you think?

new product at SEMA this year. FIA approval is weeks away.. what do you like/ dislike. I am asking people here because I want your honest opinion. I am not looking to sell my product off this. just gaining some research from people that know what they are doing

The seats look amazing but i have one particular dislike. The wrap around on the 3rd picture...is that the fabric on the seat that comes around the seat? It looks a bit out of place.

Other than that minor detail, the seats look very good.

That particular leather seat was a test seat. The leather is 100% better now.

Yes the seats are not cheap (in Carbon Fiber and Kevlar), but not any of them on the market are. we will be making seats that will fit "larger" sized drivers soon, along with a female size line of race seats.

The adjustable's will soon follow (full Kevlar adjustable), and Seat belt harness's

Keep a watch out for Status on the tracks in 2005

The seats range from $500-$2500... the basic cloth colors are Red,black, and blue. The leather comes in black only as of right now. The alcantara is Black, red, and whatever else you can think of. You can custom order you seat however you want also.
