RE: Seats?
O i know, i'm going to be doing a bit of racing with this car too. I don't want to get one of those 5 point racing ones or nothing, just maybe a three point. I love the way those look.

RE: Seats?
Do you mean racing at the track or street racing. Cause if you race at any decent track they will require certain safety features depending on how fast you go. With 550 hp you'll probably need more than a 3 point harness, unless you REALLY suck at driving.

RE: Seats?
The best thing for you to do to acheive what you are looking for is like this:
1. Make sure your factory seatbelts work.
2. Cover your car in gasoline.
3. Strap on that seat belt.
4. Light match.
5. Don't move.
Seriously, you want to mount seats and harnesses for looks, not safety. Don't bullshlt us and say otherwise.
Harnesses on the street would be WAY awkward and hard and a pain in the ***. Ever sat in a car that had a harness? (im sure since you street race, you know plenty of guys with honda's and neon's that have done it on their uber sweet 17 second street racing machines.).
You street race, so all respect for you is tossed out the window. Kinda how you tossed consideration, safety, maturity, and respect for others out the window when you decided being an immature street racing *** was cool.
IF you must be a super cool street racer, then get your seats and call it a day. You do NOT want to daily drive with a harness on.
ALSO. For a little insight on the harness mounting... YOU WANT IT MOUNTED AS PARALELLE TO THE FLOOR AS POSSIBLE. Meaning, if you have a roll bar, roll cage, or Harness Bar(see how the name of that one works?), you have the harness wrap around, or mount TO that... so that when it comes out of the seat, and goes back, its somewhat paralelle instead of jetting straight down and back, which is unsafe as all hell.

Street racing is just a bad idea and before people come on here and say "We all do it. You can't say you don't."
I don't. I respect the rest of the people on the road.
