Suggestion? Leave the centercaps off the wheels. They look SO BADASS without them.

Originally posted by RCWellsThanks J, and yeah, I've been ridin' capless for about a week now. I kinda dig it. It makes the wheels look a little less big overall, an optical illusion for sure, but it works. With the caps on, they look huge.Comment

Originally posted by EurospeedI think it makes them look much more racey, more motorsport inspired. The look like DTM or WRC wheels.

Whether they were designed to be installed like that or not, in the event of collision, spinal compression would be a major issue. It's the angle of the belts in relation to your shoulder's that determines if it's safe or not, thats why harness bars mount the harness higher than the back seat mounting points. Idealy you'd want to mount them higher than your shoulders, which would nearly diminish the chance of spinal compression happening, giving you a chance to come out of an accident alive and with use of your lower half of your body...
It's not just ppl complaining about how they look, it's a real-life safety issue. We're just looking out for u :)
Car looks amazing btw...:D

Bobby, people are concerned for your safety. Clearly yours and others ignorance of the complications involving harnesses and your desire to look FUH RAZE make it difficult to understand those harnesses may help to kill you, damage your spine, or damage your vital internal organs.Comment

Wheeter, I didn't install them to begin with, they came with the car. I AM ignorant to the ins/outs of track safety, harnesses and the like, just have never done the research nor had the experience as some of you have.
I wore them the other night, but I don't think I was in any danger of flipping, we just weren't carrying that much speed. That is the first time I've worn them fully, it was cool, but if they are as much a danger as you guys say, then I'll accept that.
As for the "fuh raze" it's the running joke, it wasn't to be taken seriously. I run the shit outta my car when I feel the need, but I am def. not a race poser.
