I'll snap a few and upload them today or tomorrow. Definitely a solid piece and it looks great in the car, adds some rigidity too. Probably not as much as a half or full roll bar but MUCH cheaper and less obtrusive and, according to their website, the height is just right for a 4 point harness.

I have just enough room in my convertible to sit up straight. Kind of need to be able to reach the steering wheel - plus the coupe doesn't have a lot of lean back room.

Couple of quick snaps with my iPhone. Definitely a good option if you're mainly looking for a harness bar, I'd recommend this piece easily for fit and finish. It's solid.

Did you get a good deal on the seats and brackets? If so, got a link? This is definitely on my list as soon as I can save some more money.

Yea, it's definitely not a cheap upgrade but the looks and functionality of the seats make it a great mod IMO.

It's Ramen Noodles for dinner for three months for me! Gotta get those seats...

My GF would never get those for me. She'd look at me with a blank stare and then say "But the car already came with seats!"

Thanks DJ they look great but the feel you will get from a fixed seat is awesome!
