Ok, I have leather seats in my car and I am looking to make the seat belts come over my shoulders from the head of my seat like you see in race cars. Are there parts that I can get to just cut holes in the head rest to convert the seatbelts. I know this is a weird question but can anyone help

I am guessing you are talking about 4 Point belts? If so I beleive you need to buy special seats.

I would not recomend it. In almost every state, it''s illegal to use a racing harness instead of the factory belt.

lol why are the illegal?
Isn''t it more safe with a racing harness?
Isn''t that the whole point of putting them in fast cars? lol

They are safe, when used with a roll bar/cage. They''re illegal for street use becuase the car was not designed to protect the passengers with them. I had a friend who got one heck of a ticket for using them on the street, so he uses his regular belt on the road, and harnes at the track.
