factory belts are never mounted below the shoulders... so please retract your statement

Yeah, you have a point. But very few are able to do that. Because very few have a roll bar. And even if they do, they dont have a bar that allows to mount a belt that away. So, you are saying that 99% of aftermarket seatbelt that are made are wrong... I still dont think that ones at that small of an angle will keep your shoulders very secure. I have even seen factory harnesses not mounted like that.

unfortunately that is due to a design issue, however, if you took the average height of an american (~5'8" - 5'10") and measured the angle, im sure you would find that it is no greater than a 25° angle

look at it this way racing seatbelts are meant for racing which means a roll cage will be involved 98% of the timethus meaning adder is correct in this because on the halo over the drivers shoulders which is about 10deg above or below the drivers shoulders

RE: New gauges w/pics
I dont use the belts when I drive the car on the street! The factory belts are still in the car! I put them in for auto crossing. The only function was to keep me from flying around in the car(if you have done auto crossing you know what I meen)and to keep me from having to put my knee against the door for bracing! And the harness are not bolted to the seat they are bolted in the same places as the factory seat belts are! Thanks for all the concern though! The "dryer ducts" are actually brake ducts that come through the fog light holes. The bracket for the stereo and gauges I bought from performance engineering, 30 bucks.
Anyone else wants to trash my car feel free!
