Ya know, "rice" all started off from doing things because it "looks cool".

There's no reason to get a harness unless you're tracking the car.

It's really up to you but, I don't find any need for it if you're not racing.

Harnesses are the biggest pain in the *** for daily driving, you'll see very quickly how annoying they are if you're not using it for track duty. Not to mention the back seats will be useless having a big bar back there.

You can't do this piece by piece and have a safe car.

Any track is likely to fail your car for inspection unless you have the whole package:

1) Non-reclinable bucket seats
2) Harness bar + harnesses
3) Roll cage
Helmet

If you have any of the above without the others, your car is less safe than from the factory.

^^^this is true. before my rollcage i got turned away at a race, and i had the harness bar, harness, bucket seat, and helmet.

your local or small autox events most likely will not give you any problems with there being no roll cage, but time attack will
