Default Sparco Harness Bar Installed (Pics)

I just finished installing the Sparco Harness Bar in my Z. Here are the pictures.
I am a paraplegic from the armpits down and I really needed something to hold me in place since I have no trunk muscle control.This setup it works like a champ for me. I managed to pull 1.25gs in a corner and I was not moving. I love it. I had been strapping myself in with a weight belt around my chest and the seat which helped. I am in love with this setup. I can still move the seats all the way forward and back which was a must to get the wheelchair in and out. If you want to know my story, click here:---> http://home.earthlink.net/~bdmpastx/

Otherwise, here are the pictures...

When did Sparco release this? Last time i checked sparco never made one...

Oh nice an 06 DB, I noticed in one of the pics that you some knicks on what looks to be the C-pillar, is that from installing the harness bar?

edit: Where are you mounting your harness?

Great story! Not to rain on your parade, as it is a nice piece, but they were recalled already for a bracket issue. We just sent our stock back
