Those look incredible, will they mount to standard recaro hardware? If so you might find some folks interested in mounting them in other cars as well (specifically looking into other seat options for my m3).
Is there anyone in the SF bay area who has these so I can test fit them in person perhaps. I would need to find out how low I can mount them since increased headroom (helmet) is my main motivation. Recently acquired and sold a set of very rare OEM CSL seats which forced me to sit far too vertical compounding my headroom issue.
Perhaps you could send a set to sharkwerks for demo purposes
+1, and is the tilt mechanism similar with just one quick lever?

How big are you? this sFCGT recline seats are much bigger than OEM GT3 seats. Couple big frame customers (6'3" 250lbs, 38" waist) try them and found they really comfortable.

On the issue of safety... and this is in no way to disparage this product in any way. I get that you have to say for offroad use only for legal purposes i'm guessing because there has been no FIA testing or similar done to get them approved (i'm assuming there is significant cost involved with that).
But I mean... will these things still hold up in a crash? Are they as strong as the stockers? I think they look awesome... I just want to make sure I can look awesome and not end up with a broken spine should the worst happen due to my vanity.
