Status seats in a week

Ok gotcha, that's excellent. The only sad part is that you would lose those beautiful aluminum Status side mount brackets. Unless they would bolt up to the buddy club rails instead of the ones included and still give you the lower seating position....

You mean the Status racing emblem on the side of the seat? If so that would still remain visible... Actually The buddy club brackets have a cool hologram chrome sticker on the rail that's visible that looks super hot

Just a heads up to anyone ordering Status seats from Vivid Racing. if they claim to have Status seats available DO NOT buy them. I ordered a Standard Ring with a GT-X label on the side. I was like Wtf this is not what I ordered? So I called Jay up at Vivid and he tells me it def. is a Standard Ring and that is just mislabled. Not only was it mislabeled, it was a used seat. How do I know? There were scratshes around the mounting holes, a grease fingerprint on the cloth part of the side bolster, and get this; a quarter and a washer underneath the cushions! I mentioned the scratches and items left under the cushions and he replied with, "The seats are actually test fitted to make sure they are level. The quarter probably got there from someone in the shipping department sitting on the seat." Why in the world would anyone in the shipping department need to sit on any of the seats?

SO, I give Status racing a call to get a clarification on the dimensions of both standard and GT-X seats. I mention to an honest man named Collin the situation I was going through. Come to find out, Status and Vividracing are somehow the same company. Idk what it is but apparently their office is in the same building. He asked if I spoke to Jay and I said yes. The seat that Jay sold me was actually sitting up in the boss's office up for display; seated up against a brick wall. Idk if you guys consider a display item a used one, but I do. Especially if there are scratches and what not all over it. Collin was trying to sell it for $650 but had no luck. So Jay ends up selling it to me for $720.

I call Jay back and ask him about it, but he sticks with his story. So I'm just like whatever, I'm not going to bother arguing with him because I'll lose regardless since I'll have to pay for return shipping. I'm more upset about being lied to than anything.
