OMP HTE-R Head Restraint Racing Seat - M Rain Fabric
The OMP HTE-R is a fixed-back, head-restraint racing seat built around an FIA-homologated gel-coated fiberglass shell. It's designed to bring genuine head-restraint safety into reach without the cost of a full carbon shell, using a modern cover material and split knee-support cushion that stays comfortable on longer track days.
This version is finished in OMP's M Rain fabric, a BMW Motorsport-inspired pattern offered as a limited-run option on the standard-size HTE-R.
Why Upgrade to a Head Restraint Seat
- Halo-style headrest for lateral head support that a standard bucket seat doesn't provide
- High side bolsters keep hips and shoulders in place under hard cornering and braking
- Removable back, base, and split-leg cushions let you fine-tune fit for your body
- Breathable cover material that doesn't hold heat or trap debris the way older upholstery does
Construction
- Gel-coated fiberglass shell, FIA 8855-1999 homologated
- Side-mount (W-type) fitment
- HANS device compatible
- Five shoulder harness slots to accommodate a range of driver heights
- M Rain fabric upholstery, available only on the standard size
Fit
The HTE-R is built to comfortably support most drivers up to a 36" waist. This is a fixed-size shell, so try before you buy if you're near that limit.
Required, Not Included
This is the seat shell only. You'll also need a vehicle-specific mounting bracket to bolt it to your factory seat rails or a roll cage mount, plus a harness if you're not retaining the factory seatbelt. BMP carries a universal seat mounting sliding rail kit and an OMP shoulder harness slot HSC kit for harness routing; contact your BMP Tuning rep to confirm the correct bracket for your specific chassis.
