I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the yellow one. It should take the place of the stock lap belt correct?

No harness bars.
Those things will not protect you during an impact.
It will bend and you will either come out of the harness or you will faceplant into the steering wheel or windshield.

Just for grins go wrap one strap to it and pull firmly.
There will be a amount to give to it.. now imagine you hitting something, the force will be many many many times more greater.
If you want or must have a harnesses use a roll bar that is bolted to the car itself.
I also dont condone those in a street car either,but if you take that route pad everything any part of your body might hit, why? Seatbelts and harnesses stretch on impact something can and most likely will hit something else in your car.
Your stock seatbelts will be much more safer than those green gobblin ones you want in the car.

Actually, it is not and I have a custom made one stronger than any OTS bars.

Roll cages should really be welded to the car to optimize safety with using a harness.

OP: Do you have a roll cage at all? You do realize that in the event you flip your car that your harness is more likely to kill you if you don't have a roll cage and a helmet on.
