I just bought a pair of aftermarket JDM racing seats and have had them properly mounted and all however, you cant use the stock seat belt system with the seats. So then, I buy a 4 point racing harness. Then, I am told if I am pulled over I can be ticketed for the harness belt (i live in ca so laws are megagay here). What do I do...?

Oh I dunno, colorful language, bad breath, a feather duster...Whatta you think theyre armed with guns you tit! |

I'm not sure about cali, but I think it would apply for everywhere. They're illegal because its a safety device that's not tested and approved by the standards association. They haven't been put through the proper crash test and what not. In addition, they can't have any slack when worn and I believe the proper installation would to have them bolted down somewhere directly behind the seats. You couldn't have a back seat.
