I do all I can to keep the eyes of the law OUT of my vehicles after this.
Check out Schroth Racing they are the only company to offer multipoint harness' that ARE DOT approved for ON-ROAD use as a primary safety restraint! I used them in the Jeep I built with pops for my sister. Been pulled over for them a couple times, but as soon as they see the FMVSS certification they take they're ball and go home!

Initial fitment test of the Harness in the Corbeau seat back during the build...
