The Ultimate STÄTUS Symbol for Mercedes

Mercedes owners have always had STÄTUS envy. Many Mercedes customers of ours want custom STÄTUS seats, but up until now, they were nearly impossible to install. This was because the OEM seat-belt buckle was attached to the factory seat as one piece. We recognized the need for a bracket that could hold the STÄTUS seat and the OEM seat-belt buckle. We reached out to our friends over at Agency Power, to create a customized bracket that would be comparable to the factory setup. Agency Power custom made a prototype seat bracket that housed the STÄTUS seat, and OEM factory seat-belt buckle. It is thanks to this partnership that Mercedes owners everywhere can now be STÄTUS icons.

This is the W204 chassis model and is only available for Mercedes C-Class 08-13+. Vivid Racing will be offering this Agency Power/ STÄTUS duo in the future. However, this package is not yet available online. If you’re interested in purchasing one, please email sales@vividracing.com. Here is a preview of the install.
