Yeah as said before if you don't have a harness bar or cage you are asking for trouble. If you mount the harness to the floor you will compress your spine in a rollover.

My question though is why? Do you ever track the car? Is this just going to be for looks? Keep in mind a harness will keep you in the seat more than the stock belts will and will essentially make your airbags worthless in a crash. It's just plain dangerous unless you have a cage/harness bar and a complete waste if you have no plans to track the car.

keep in mind. that our seats have airbags and you will have to disconnect it meaning your airbag light will be on.

Ya man for lack of a better term, don't do it. It's going to cost you a pretty penny to get it done right. Between the cost of the seats, harness and bars your looking at 2k easy. Also you would have to replace the seat rack (don't believe them if they say universal fit) since all cars are different. Racks for the most part are the same but even just an inch or two difference will cause you a headache in trying to get it all put together. Not to mention being careful when you remove the current seats so the airbags don't go off.

Then you have that annoying airbag light on all the time unless you wire it or buy a sensor mat (more money spent) and rig it with that. Of course you need to be sure not to rig it to a resistor or you passenger side airbag could go off if you hook it up wrong in a fender bender.

From a practical point of view these are probably a better option.
