I do still have the soft top. I thought the BK would clear with the top still on? Maybe I'm wrong about that.

Truthfully I can't stand the appearance of the BK extension. It's very much an "afterthought" appearance and I'm trying to keep things aesthetically proper.

My seats are bottomed out already. I could remove the bottom cushions on race day but that still doesn't give me a good solution for proper placement of a harness bar.

What I'm trying to ultimately achieve with this is proper install of schroth 4pt asm belts for both road and track use while making it look factory, and that's simply not possible with the stock setup.

Jon, those plates your referring to are pretty standard when installing aftermarket safety equipment. My (very superficial) understanding is that FIA requires all additional mounts that attach to the vehicle structure (hoops, cages, lap belts, etc) to be reinforced by an additional 1/8 steel plate welded to the body or frame. They don't want us rednecks bending new hoops on the local muffler shop's pipe bender and then welding it to the floor pan lol.

Thanks for the input guys. As always, it's much appreciated.

On a side note, I think it's frustrating that there's no middle ground when it comes to track prepping this car. You're either bone stock, or you're balls deep with a cage.
