Default Pfadt bolt in chassis bar

I think I want more than just a harness bar. Does anyone have thoughts on the Pfadt chassis bar. It is a simple bolt in, and a fairly nice looking piece. I would think that it should offer a little more protection then the harness bar for not that much more cash? Anyone with fit and finish comments for a c5 z06?

Just checked their site. The mounting points are to the frame. However, in their installed photo the harness bar appears low. I'd want to make sure the shoulder belts don't attatch at a downward angle.

I think you drill holes on the top of the rear frame rails and insert an expandle threaded female tap. If done correctly with good hardware I think this could be a nice upgrade from a harness bar. I don't know. Probably just gonna weld one in......

The DRM one I have I can just grind off or even drill the welds if required but you still need to cut the floor in the rear.
