Default Dumb Question but.....

is there a a way i can use those racing seat belts(harness belts) with the factory seats? or do i have to buy those racing seats with those holes over the shoulders? I'm just hoping i can use the factory seats since i dont want to give up my heated seats. Thanks [img]images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img]

Most racing seat belts can use the factory seats. Here is a pic to illustrate, basically it goes under your headrest connecting into the back seat belt.



Have fun!!!

I love the idea with the seat belts going into the rear seat belt holders.Then you dont have to have more than one passenger.

IIRC the reason for them going back is that when you crash, your force goes forward as they tighten, but if it went down it would mess up your spine...
