Is the BRIDE XERO VS PLUS FIA certified?

Yes. The BRIDE XERO VS PLUS is FIA certified across all variations, covering both the silver FRP and black super aramid shell options as well as all three color choices. FIA homologations carry expiration dates, so verifying the seat's current approval status against the FIA's active homologation list before sanctioned competition use is recommended.

What makes the XERO VS PLUS suitable for vehicles with limited interior space?

The XERO VS PLUS features compact head and side supports along with reduced shoulder width dimensions compared to larger full bucket designs. This allows the seat to be installed in car models where interior space is restricted, without compromising the safety and functionality required for FIA certification.

What is CABLON ST® conductive fabric and what does it do?

CABLON ST® is a conductive skin material used in the XERO VS PLUS upholstery. It works by dispersing static electricity that builds up in and around the driver throughout the body, reducing the overall charge level. This contributes to improved maneuverability and a more comfortable driving experience, particularly during extended sessions.

Does the XERO VS PLUS require a separate seatback protector?

No. The XERO VS PLUS features a half-cover seatback construction that complies with vehicle inspection requirements, meaning a separately sold seatback protector is not needed when installing in vehicles equipped with rear seating.

What shell material options are available for the XERO VS PLUS?

The XERO VS PLUS is available in two shell materials: a silver FRP shell, which uses fiberglass-reinforced plastic construction, and a black super aramid shell, which uses high-strength aramid fiber for a stiffer and lighter alternative. Both options are FIA certified and available in all three color variations.

How does the XERO VS PLUS reduce driver fatigue during long drives?

The seat uses a combination of a firm waist and thigh hold to keep the driver secure without requiring constant physical effort to stay positioned, and quilted fabric on the inner knee bolsters to reduce pressure buildup against the driver's legs. Together, these allow drivers to maintain focus and physical control over extended periods such as endurance races.

Description

BRIDE XERO VS Bucket Seat

The XERO VS PLUS is the most compact head guard model in the XERO lineup, making it a practical choice for street use, public road driving, and circuit competition alike. The head and side supports have been deliberately kept compact to improve outward visibility and make getting in and out of the car easier compared to larger full bucket designs. Despite the reduced profile, the seat maintains sufficient safety and functionality to meet FIA certification standards across all variations. Lateral support comes from a shell that firmly holds the waist and thighs, keeping the driver planted through hard cornering without creating fatigue-inducing pressure points. Quilted fabric on the inner knee bolsters improves the contact fit between the seat and the driver’s legs, making a noticeable difference during long endurance stints where comfort directly affects concentration and control. Carbon-pattern detailing on the shoulders and belt hole surrounds balances the racing character of the seat with a premium finish. The VS PLUS introduces two meaningful updates over its predecessor. First, the seatback now uses a half-cover construction that complies with vehicle inspection requirements, removing the need for a separately purchased seatback protector when installing in vehicles with rear seating. Second, the upholstery incorporates CABLON ST® conductive fabric, which disperses static electricity buildup across the driver’s body rather than allowing it to concentrate, contributing to improved maneuverability and a more comfortable driving experience overall.

Compact by Design, Uncompromising on Safety

The XERO VS PLUS keeps the head guard, side supports, and shoulder width trim enough to fit car models with limited interior space, without giving up the safety and functionality the seat is built around. Carbon-pattern detailing on the shoulders and belt hole surrounds rounds out the look, sitting comfortably between premium and race-ready.

Smarter Coverage, Cleaner Installation

The XERO VS PLUS uses a half-cover seatback design that meets vehicle inspection requirements, removing the need for a separate seatback protector when fitting the seat in a vehicle with rear seating. The upholstery also features the new CABLON ST® conductive fabric, which disperses static electricity accumulated around the driver across the body, lowering the overall charge level and contributing to better maneuverability and a more comfortable drive.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
