[QUOTE="Lethalchem, post: 12763552, member: 8054"] Thanks for the comments guys. Several of you have posted legitimate points, but they are all ones I am aware of and that I've considered. I'll get better pictures of the inside of the car for you this Friday or Saturday when it's supposed to be sunny and warm. I'll address a couple of comments real quick though: - The belts will work for my needs just fine without significant risk to me. These are perfect for autocrossing in a massive parkinglot where speeds rarely get over 50mph and there is nothing to run into except a little orange rubber cone. - The belts do not limit me in any way whatsoever, whether it be track conditions/rules or state laws. Why? Because the factory belts are still installed and in working condition in addition to these belts. If there is ever a situation where the use of these belts would be inappropriate I will simply slide the belts back out the hole in the seat and out of the way (or I can unwrap them and take them out completely in all of 5 min) and I'll just use the stock belts. I can use either the harness or the factory belts at any time. Whichever i'm in the mood for that day. This mod isn't "instead of", it's "In addition to". :thumbsup: - No, the rear seats are still functional. I sat in the back seats while wrapping the the excessive belt webbing up out of the way. There is a support bar on each side which connects to the harness bar itself. You have to duck beneath the harness bar to get in the seat, but it's not any big deal. The bigger question would be how safe someone would be back there though. I don't have any padding on the bar because I don't have kids and don't expect anyone to be riding back there, but I wouldn't let anyone ride there without rollbar padding on it. - The bar is bolted into the car, not welded. I don't have any interest in doing anything to my car that I can't undo if I decide I don't like it. I always want to be able to return my vehicles to stock condition if I ever felt the need.
