    nightshaded tail lights, backup lights
    and a 3 point/4 point harness

    nice nevy....

    im still not thrilled at the whole attaching it to the back seat belt thing though

    i guess theres no way to have a harness that isnt a PITA somewhere else in the car

    they dont make them for the cruiser
    and i dont think the SRT bar will fit

    + it stows out of the way and its only gonna be used for Autocrossing
    another reason for no harness bar is we babysit alot so yeah...

    but there is a difference between Corbeau and Schroth
    take a closer look at the adjustment straps on the waist
    the Schroth has them by the buckel
    the Corbeau has then by the bolt area on the floor which is very hard to adjust when seated
    my old Weapon R harness which is now in my mustang adjusts like that and it sucks its ok since theres not center concole in the stang and i can reach them but it sucked in the skittle.

    same page just scroll down and you'll see the S.M.A.R.T. harness

    Why would you need to adjust that more than once so that you fit?....it would seem to me that you'd adjust it so that you can fit in there then leave it sine nobody else will ever drive my car lol

    or am i incorrect with that?

    no you do have to lossen and tighten the straps each time you get in. or fit it and try hard and suck in your gut to get it to clip. it has to sit low and tight/snug. remember its not like your regular 3 point seatbelt, if you get the SMART harness then you dont have to adjust the sholder straps. but you will still have to adjust the waist strap

    you can do one but its easer if the adjustment strap is in hands reach on your lap vs. on the floor behind the seat.
    thats one thing i leaned really fast with my first harness
