Cool Stätus Racing Sponsored - For the race car driver in all of us :D

Well a little over a month ago, Stätus Racing offered to sponsor my car. always loved their seats and how customizable they are. Anything from cloth, leather, ostrich, gator, carbon fiber, etc.

I decided on the Stätus Ring GTX bucket seats, which are their "largest" seat, made for riders up to 36" waist. I'm 6'1" 190lbs, 32" waist, but I just wanted a little extra room since this car is my daily. I also chose to customize them, with their Icon option. I went with red leather outer, black diamond stitched ultra suede inner, and carbon fiber backs. I also did black Stätus 6-point harnesses.

Racing seats aren't for most people on this forum, I know. But for the few who love the look, here's some photos I took to show them off a little, enjoy.

Very Nice seats. Material are top notch. Color and Texture combo is interesting. They are hell of diffult to climb in and out, I am sure. I used to have full-bucket Recaro in my Impreza. It's like sitting in a tight pit.

BTW, does it fit you well?

Thanks everyone.

Sitting in them I feel pretty comfortable. It's still my daily and I drive about 45 minutes to and from work, mostly sitting in Houston traffic...but they're comfy. Definitely makes me want to take turns fast now, as that area has obviously been inporoved and I feel very planted. So much fun. They do take some getting used to getting out of them, getting in is ok but out I had to figure that one out haha it's only 4 bolts in and out so I could end up just using these for show but so far I love them too much to ever take them out.
