Cracks in the shell and detachment from the mount/adapter is a possibility regardless of whether or not you worry about needing FIA certification.
During internal crash tests of the seat systems according to the “FIA standard for competition seats 8855-1999”, RECARO Automotive Seating found that under these specific test set-ups cracks in the seat shell may occur in the area of the front fixation to the steel adapter connecting the seat with the vehicle floor. In the case of an accident those cracks can potentially lead to a detachment of the shell from the adapter and as a consequence to a possible injury risk for the driver or loss of control over the vehicle.
RECARO Automotive Seating takes the quality of its products very seriously. Despite the fact that RECARO Automotive Seating is not aware of complaints or cases of damages or injured persons with regard to the issue described above, RECARO Automotive Seating asks end customers precautionary to refrain from using the seats. Due to the revocation of the homologation of the two seats by FIA as of now they are not approved for use in motorsports any more.

Hold on. You took out the clear headlight diffusers (that are stock everywhere but the U.S.) and replaced them with the USDM orange headlight diffusers? That is nuts to me! In fact, I spent a good chunk of money on new USDM headlights that had the clear diffusers installed. Clear > orange. I guess you have a unique setup for Europe though.
