Here is what the corvette folks do, Porsche is similar.

I have used this system and it works great. Behind the seats's the two cars are similar.
The only DEs that I participate in do not require 5 or 6 point harnesses. As far as I know, neither does NASA nor Speedventure in my area. 5 or 6 point harnesses aren't even required in TIME TRIALS.

Unless I can do harnesses properly, I'd rather stay with the stock airbag/belt because it's safer than improperly installed harnesses, IMNSHO.
