ebay?? or just mount them to the strut bar if you has one...


or do what i did and mount them to the speaker tower.. if you open up the speaker tower (take speaker off) you will see TWO holes on the side facing the back of the driver seat.. find some bolts that match the threads and bolt them right up.. also add a nut to secure the bolts in.. thats what i did before i got my strut bar mounted

hope this helps

+ Infinity. If you don't have a cage or a proper roll bar at bare minimum, you shouldn't have any type of harness other than the stock seat belts.

A 4 point harness without a good roll cage in a rollover accident could likely result in a smashed skull.
