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.
FIA approved it a time and cost consuming process. With the volume of the seats we're selling, we just can't afford to do it. Safety is one of the most concern when we develop the seats. The last thing we want is any of our customer has injure in an accident due to our seats. Especially most of them will be use some how in track though out it's life. We pick a reputation manufacture which has been in aftermarket sport seats industry for over 10 years. So far our sGT3 seats has been on market for 3+ years and sold over 100 pair. There is no single issue or complain report found on any forums. I believe this is better than I put up any spec. here to prove.

Dimension pic is up, I've also post sGT3 seats dimension to compare. You can see there are 2" wider on the hip area. Also sFCGT seat has open side design, it make much more room at waist area and fit better for people has 38" + waist. This also help for easier to get in and out of the seats.

Sorry to rain on your parade, these seats look GREAT and the quality looks top-notch but anyone who runs with non-FIA approved seats at the track is putting their wallet before personal safety. If your seats are safe, then you should have no problem getting the approval. With FIA sanctioning you would sell more anyway. As they are now, I'm sure they are fine for road use (although you sell them as offroad only?).

Most serious clubs require FIA sanctioned seats.

Also, I tried to visit your website, but it seams to have some issues:

The offroad use statement is to protect our company and many aftermarket parts use the same. We understand if the seats are FIA approved, it will be peace of mind for buyers, but with the volume we're planning to sell. The seats will be 2-3 times of the price from now and don't think they will be sell.

Thanks for you screen shot with our site issue, I've already forward it to hosting company and working on that.

Hi Mike, good to see you here! recline seat is 33lbs each with sliders and brackets. Standard 997TT seats are 55-65lbs each. So it will be a good 44-64lbs saving for a pair. For more weight reductions, our sCGT seat is 23lbs each that will be 64-84lbs saving. Finally we have them instock and able to finish them in 2 weeks in natural brown !
