Mounting Harness's
-
You will be fine using harnesses as seatbelts, and the police will not hassle you. However I would recommend a harness bar. SLS would be able to build you one that would be bolted to the top portion where your stock seatbelts used to go, with a mounting tab for your seatbelts. You can also purchase them from some places as well.

I know Troy mentioned that at Tintmasters to order one but I dont want to spend 400 dollars on it at this point.... -
You're probably best off just getting normal 3 pt belts that go with the car.
You could have the harnesses use the factory belt mounting points for the lap belt, and some 4pt units are setup so that the shoulder belts use the rear seatbelt anchors via extra buckles.
There's a pretty divisive opinion on if its even safe to use harnesses in a car without a roll hoop. In a non-hooped car, if you roll wearing a harness, you're going to break your neck. A 3pt belt lets your torso slide out of the way a bit.
My track car has a 4pt roll bar with harness bar.

I've been pulled over and never had issues using harnesses. Although at the same time, my harnesses were mounted to a cage inside the vehicle, haha.

I have been wondering this as well, I would like to get some harnesses someday for my car.

Ahh in that case you would have to weld a plate to the b pillars behind the plastic, and then cut and notch the plastic around a permanent harness bar. I'd probably just find stock seatbelts.

I just remembered that I have a set of doors (kinda rusted so u probably dont want the whole door) that'll work with the seatbelts in them. But if you want the seatbelts out of them lmk and we can work something out.I might have to do that... I was looking at a few harness bars off of ebay for 200 bucks.... Maybe i can get my mom to just buy that for me until i get more money...
