I haven't even unwrapped it yet.
It will be a few eeks before I get it installed. I'm working on some custom mounts for the 6-point seat harness.
The mounts will stay in the car and the harness will just click on and off when needed. It should be easy just takes some time.

PS
Dronellis, thanks for the quick shippment. Sorry I haven't replied I've been very ill.

By the way Pffelan,
I installed Sparco EVO2's in my vette.
The EVO2's are for people over two hundred pounds. There a little wider and stronger for people of larger stature.
They worked great and looked good.

tango,
They will be here next week. Custom wood working always takes longer than expected. The install will be simple, thanks to Brandons creative thinking.
As soon as I get them I'll post pic's!
