Harnesses with stock seats?

I am thinking about putting in a wolfe 6 point rollbar into my 2000 SS, and was just wondering if you could use properly functioning 5 point harnesses with the stock seats? Any info is appreciated...thanks.

I have seen them fixed with holes thru them for the sholder belts. Looks nice too.

On a Camaro the shoulder straps have to go thru the seat to be legal (You probably won't get any grief if you go around the seat until you run an IHRA/NHRA sanctioned event and they decide to really check your car out). You can go over the seat on Firebirds, because of the separate head rest.

Theres a shop near my house called auto interiors. They charged me 300.00 for the two seats. It's a little expensive but I wanted to keep these factory seats and still use my harness belts. I guess the shop even did these for gm on a concept car they were working on. Most Upholstery shops will do this - just make sure you get a quote. Beleive it or not I called a top-notch-Upholstery shop for a quote on this job and they told me 1,500 per seat - not including the cost of materials - Mike

Is there some kind of plastic tunnel in the cutouts? Hard to tell from your pic. Regardless, they did a great job.... looks like they were designed that way.

I'm just using a hacksaw to cut it across and then a soldering iron to singe the fibers shut. Hopefully will turn out nicely, I can't imagine spending $300 on that when aftermarket seats aren't much more $. Overall looks nice though.

They actaully used cloth for the inside of the cutouts. It took him about 2 days to do both seats. They did a excellent job on the seats. Those 5pt harness belts work allot better now. - Mike
