I'm wanting to get a 5 pt harness, but I don't have a roll cage, and don't want to bucher up the interior of my car. What is the best way to mount the shoulder straps? any pictures?

Thanks

A few things to consider.

Belts are designed to stretch in impact. If you were to hit something with a belt that was running to the rear "shelf" area of the car, you may see enough stretch to hit the steering wheel/airbag (not good), or it may just tear the thin sheet metal that it is mounted to.

I'd use a cage or a harness bar (harness bar for autocross only) or nothing at all (if it were me).

Just my thoughts, be safe.
