Default Competition harness question

Posted on Z06 forum, but don't think anyone has installed comp belts yet so thought I would post here. Does anyone have a photo of their C7 with standard GT seats showing shoulder harness routing with Sharkbar or similar harness mount set up? Wondering how to route them on my new Z06 (around headrest or through the hole, etc),

Wow, guess nobody has installed one on their C7 either. I did a ride along with a good driver in a C7 Z51 at Heartland Park and believe me, with the G forces a C7 or Z06 can generate a six point harness is badly needed. You will spend more time bracing for corners than you will concentrating on apex/shift points/etc. I spoke with Vetteworks and they will offer a group buy 12% discount on their six point hook up items.

Thanks

Works great with the comp seats for sure since it has holes in backrest intended for that purpose. Have a feeling GT seats will require belts to route over top of seat either side of headrest. Thanks for your response.

What belts are those exactly? I would like to order some for my Comp seats, is there anything that you would recommend for a easy install?
