Default 3pt belt w/ 5pt option

I need to start thinking out interior ideas for my pt fastback. What I am thinking of doing is running 3 pt belts until I go to the track, then install the cross bar for the 5 pt belts. Does anyone have any pics of cars which have this. Trying to stay away from the super race look. Thanks guys

Default seat belt/cage dilemma

I know this is a highly debated topic. But, surely there are others in the same boat as me. A welded in cross bar isn't even an option for me. I guess I could build individual seat hoops like the Ring Brothers have done. Ideas anyone? Pics anyone?

Forgot something.
I also would like to know if anyone has seen seats that are strong enough to have a harness built into the seat? It will not matter that this is not track legal because it will be around a 11.5 second ride.

like i have said with out a cage you wreck wearing them youll break your back. a weld in crossbar will break off in a wreck.the ring brothers build show cars they do the 5 points for the looks theres wouldnt hold up in a wreck.
