I'm pretty sure I have. I don't see why it should be necessary to do otherwise.


what about your future mods....window tint on the front is a no no. some areas also inforce a headlight to ground minimum distance. I notice that your lowered. when you mod your car, your more then likely breaking some rules. some people more then others.

Tinting a front window is retarded, and even though a top strip is allowed in my province I have no interest in trying to improve on the factory visor tint. I've also browsed though the laws for headlamps in my are (as available here) without finding any obvious issues for a car with lowered suspension save for the possibility of poor aiming.

In NV you have to have any safety device that came with your car installed properly and working... it's like >$350.00 fine if busted... good luck

So you're a safety engineer then, right? With the harness, you obviously have a fully padded roll cage and proper race seats so I'm sure you'll be fine. Not everyone goes to that amount of effort though. Some retards will just put in some ricer harnesses and think they're fine, risking both themselves and their passengers just so they can have a fancy wheel.

Here's some easy reading for some of the less informed people who are considering this mod.

That relates to harnesses, but I think enough has been said here about air bags.

no im not a safety engineer, and yes i have racing seats and harness and i am looking for a place to make a roll cage for me . and i am taking all the step to have a safe car even without airbags,but until i find someplace to build my roll cage the harness are mounted to the floor,and the airbags are still in. so unless you a safety engineer i dont think anyone cares about what you think about the safety of there cars

I care what he thinks. The man's website is half responsible for making my car what it is today.

harness mounted to floor = most unsafe rig ever

you'd prolly be better off with no harness or belt than with a harness mounted to the floor
