I'm assuming you're using the mounting points from the stock hatch belt things there right? Are those strong enough for harnesses? If so that's really good to know because I have racing seats and wanted to get harnesses for them but didn't want to have to get a bar made.

I used factory bolt holes in the hatch that were un-used and deep. The angle is less than ideal, but this should be the strongest point back there. The side belts use stock locations with longer hardware and small spacers to prevent any binding.

Awesome, good to know. What company makes those harnesses and did you order them online? I'm trying to find a place to get mine online for a reasonable price.

A lot hehe I amassed all the parts in about a year and waited for my bonus at work this year for the labor. I didn't just throw all this on a credit card (which a lot of people do). I saved for the parts for a few months, then waited for my bonus to cover labor.

I knew those seats looked familiar, I have Corbeau GT's

EDIT
Apparently corbeau doesn't list the GT's anymore, the last owner got these a while ago and it says "Corbeau GT" on them, but they look exactly like the TRS's on corbeau's site

Ok. Lemme restate. How much within a certain range did it cost you? 500? 5000? See, there's a BIG difference. I just need ballpark values...

The parts were just over $3K.

The catback section is Apexi's dual N1 exhaust and they are pretty loud but less so than the single N1 system.
