These are a pair (2) of Status Ring FIA Certified Seats, literally brand new, I just received these a few days ago and have only mounted them to side mount hardware, without scratching seat. They are the black ultra suede, black FRP backing with white Status logos. Current 10/13 FIA certification stickers as well (Valid until 2019). The side mount brackets will fit Sparco + universal sliders and planted technologies / wedge seat bases and have integrated seat belt mounts.

I am 5'10 165/170lbs 30-33” in jean size // 38" around the hips with measuring tape, I fit incredibly well in these seats, they feel AMAZING - They hug you like a Russian bear. The bad news is that my taste for larger bottomed women makes me concerned for a driving with a passenger. Going out on a date with a broader hipped woman and having her try to squeeze into these seats makes me giggle, yet concerns me - So I am going a different route.

Will not separate seat pairs

I've actually owned pole positions several years prior to these. A few key differences that I noted.

- The overall construction and quality of the Status seats feel far superior to the pole position. From the foam used to the paint on the FRP to the stitching Status wins in each category. Upon mounting sisemounts to the recaros, no matter how delicate I was I still managed to scratch the hell out of the sides - Status, not a single scratch on them. IIRC the PP cover was two pieces and a bear to remove if you needed to recover the seat, Status is modular with with 3 parts that Velcro to the shell and main cover - very easy to replace or change out color scheme of center padding.

- Ultra suede is absolutely incredible, it's really of no comparison to the "velour" of the Recaros. The ultra suede looks and feels bounds ahead of the PP. The PP, while being recaro and looking nice still screams "I purchased the cheapest recaro racing seat and didn't spend the extra money on a ProFi SPG". Status on the other hand says "I put thought into the design and materials of the seat I purchased"


- Seat flex, this may be in my head but the pole positions seemed to have a bit more torsional flex to them. I'm not a big guy or heavy weight at all but the I remember the flex in the shoulder area being more forgiving than the Status seats.

- Status seemed to be a bit deeper and more snug. While the PP was nice for an FIA seat driving around town, I never got the feeling that I was "locked in".

Just my two cents - While I loved my PP, I can truthfully say that I wouldn't go another route with my Status decision. I should also note that I am not affiliated with Status or Vivid in any way, my opinions are my own.

A lot of interest yet no one to pull the trigger yet.

Make me a reasonable offer - these are taking up space in my living room!

All PMs and texts replied to - A bunch of people interested / wanting them and then not following through...

Guys - These are $1900 from Status alone, without shipping. With side mount this is a killer deal.

Thank you! They truly are great seats - I am shocked that they haven't been snatched up yet.

Heading into weekend bump.
