Finally installed my Axiom Autosports rear harness bar
It's *much* beefier than the tanabe bar that just came off 
I had hit a snag on my install b/c the stock nuts that hold the bar ends on arent threaded all the way to the bottom, and with the thicker metal on the axiom bar mounting points I wasn't able to grab any threads with them. After some searching I came upon the proper m10x1.25 flanged nuts with thread all the way to the bottom and in the proper grade. I actually have a bunch extra if anyone needs them....they'll come in handy for the front bar in the event I need to shim my front bar higher to give me more clearance at the greddy elbow.
Install was a breeze, fitment was perfect. You do need a massive allen key (3/4?) to bolt the bar to the ends. Very shiny, I'm happy with it. Now to go harness shopping

Eh, I love the polished look, in person it looks fantastic set against all the oem black plastics. Chris Carlisi snapped a shot when I was visiting him and his 3 rotor FD today, maybe he'll post it up when he's not ripping through the lincoln tunnel with a perma-grin on his face

It's the freakin' flash that washes out the color, does it to my paint too.
Yup, they're the Spirit R seats......Ramy at FD Newbie really pulled out all the stops to get them for me, they were basically brand new---the foam hadnt even developed a wear pattern yet

Its red dude, not pink. Look at the paint of his car, it looks pink too. The flash from the camera puts too much light causing the red to look pink. That happens to me everytime i take pics of my car. So i just lessen the exposure off my camera settings.
Btw, it looks good, very beefy and shiney.

if you want a street car, dont put harneses in. Or at least make sure you retain the stock seat belt. Ive removed my seatbelts and have had 4 and 6 point harnesses in my car (currently 6) and trying to instruct every person thats not beein in your car before how to put the harness on is a pain in the ***.
Added to that you have to sit there with the door open so your elbow can bend enough to plug the shoulder straps in, and its just a big pain for a street car...
