My opinion would be have the bar black. It matches with the seats. Having the bar frost will look kinda tacky I think.

The contrast with the gray takata selt-belts and the black bar and your black seat looks dope. But thats just my opinion. I'm pretty sure your decision will make your car look nice. You made a good decision so far. :-). Now get your poly uretane THING!! OPPS the secret it out.

HAHAHAHHA

Did you order the bar yet? I am gonna order tomorrow or so. I still don't know how it's gonna work, but if it doesn't work for me, some lucky my350 owner will end up with one for cheap.

I and gonna take the bar to an upholstery shop and get it completely covered so it at least looks nice. I am not gonna go the full stripper route in my car for racing.

which bar are you talking about raceboy?

avalon racing's harness bar, or kirk racing's roll bar?

i am thinking on waitiong for autopower to make a roll bar.

if and when i do the roll bar, i am going to have it painted black or white and have foam pads.

Takata harness isn't going to look right.

John, You have succeeded in totally confusing me.

In your original post, you asked about a roll bar, but in your sig, you mention a harness bar, the later you mention waiting for an AutoPower roll bar.

To my understanding, a harness bar is NOT a roll bar. Yet, you include a link to the Kirk roll bar.

What the heck are you getting?

Either way, please post picks of how & where you attach the seat & sub belts.

hi enthusz,

sorry for the confusion.

i have a harness bar from avalon racing coming. but have now decided to put a roll bar instead because i will be tracking the car.

the harness bar would of been for autocrossing and some occasional track use (mainly for autocrossing or drifting)

i have decided that i will be going to the track more in the near future, so a roll bar will be to my favor (since i am only a newbie to the track).

so if anyone wants a black powdercoated harness bar for cheap, let me know.

John, being an OLD rock & roller, I'm "Dazed & Confused". Up till your last line "so if anyone wants a black powdercoated roll bar for cheap, let me know.", I understood. Are you selling the Avalon Harness bar?

I'm still deciding on weather to get the Avalon HARNESS bar, or waiting for future options. Sheeet, he wants almost as much for a harness bar as Kirk wants for a roll bar. Not to keen on wiggling my head through the Roll bar on a daily basis. My skull is thick, BUTTTTTTT.
