Default Shaguar Wrapped, lowered, wheels, more to come soon.

Car is almost done!

The Shaguar is wrapped, Lowered on H&R Springs, with Ferrada wheels

Wrapped by my good friend and partner Rolotech Car Wraps in Anahiem

Ferrada Wheels by Ferrada and SigMods.com. Custom set made at 5x108 for my F type (production of 5x108 to be released in a few months)
20x9 and 20x11.5 Bronze Forge8 Series

The car was measured yesterday for a chassis mounted aero diffuser utilizing the factory mount chassis mount points. I will post pics when the CAD is done (which we will most likely put into production)

This weekend/next week we will also be measuring some side skirts/sills some what like the R type MY16 but a little smaller simple curved design ( Will post pics once design is done)

Next week car is getting measurements with Braum racing for F Type Race seat applications. Very excited about this as I have the base model with the standard seats and now will have the ability to have really great quality sport seats. BRAUM products are designed in the United States, made in ISO certified factories, and inspected and assembled in the United States.

Im excited to share this all with you once the car is done!

Do the oem seats not have airbags? How are you getting round that? Prefer not to have that protection in event of a tbone crash?

How are the vehicle's airbag and safety systems being addressed with this seat? Certain tracks also require safety certifications for seats. My previous car was Honda S2000 with only front airbags so I was able to run Recaro without any interference. Why not go with establish companies such as Sparco, Recaro, BRIDE, etc?

Excited about this. Saving 50-100 lbs. on seats would be huge, and those you pictured look much better than the average performance seat. Certainly better than finding a way to buy the 18MY seats.

the seats look nice and the price is cheap.

my only 2 gripes from looking at their website... they don't offer any real leather options and the embossed braum logo in the seats. I guess you could always get them re-upholstered.

Did some more digging on the seats and it doesn't look they have any crash test ratings/certifications? No ECE or FMVSS207 certs, the fixed buckets have no FIA cert ... I only see their harnesses have SFI or FIA approvals.

Are you able to provide any more info?

More info for you



Hello Branden,

We routinely receive questions regarding safety which is very understandable. The majority of our seats have been TÜV tested and undergo rigorous in-house testing, inspection, and quality checks.

Most people ask us if our reclining seats are FIA/SFI certified, and we'd like to clarify that to the best of our knowledge, there are no aftermarket reclinable seats with FIA/SFI certificati ons available from any brand. Only fixed-back seats come with those certifications. For track purposes, I would consider looking into getting fixed back seats for maximum safety as we do not recommend reclinable seats from any brand for racing/track use. We do have our Falcon Series FIA seats available on our site: http://www.braumracing.c om/product/falcon-fia-approved -fixed-back-racing-seat-cloth/ and we are currently in the process of obtaining FIA certification for a few more of our fixed-back seat models.
