I would have ordered Status seats a year ago If I could get a straight answer about fitment in the car. I don't want something that's going to rub the door panels...

Looking forward to seeing you results.

Not too sure if you could measure from this picture, but it has about a finger gap between

Planted seat base (brackets), status side mounts, universal rails.

Personally, I didn't like the seating position with the planted seat base and status side mount. Universal sliders also adds quite a bit of height.

With some research, you should be able to find a different brand that offers lower sitting position. I went with bride FO rails and it fits my "ring" seat with minor modification.

Ok, since I don't have a picture of them on my album, I will try to explain it as best as I can


The side mount should should at least be 90 degrees to make the seat fit better.

If you are inquiring about the FO rails,

Bride FO rails

1. Perfect fit

|............| <- side mount
_________ <- Seat base and rails


2. Fitting Status ring seat

/............\ <- Side mount "slightly bent inwards
_________ <- Seat base and rails



***Although the signs I wrote up there is somewhat deceiving (angle) it is not that much bent. I would guess somewhere between 85 degrees ~ 80 degrees at most.

Nice looking seats. I see you have the 40th anniversary door panels. How's that red match to the seats?
