I find that the seats in my EX aren't supportive enough in the sides to really hold me in during tight corners, so I was wondering if there is a way to hook up a 4 point or 3 point harness SAFELY without a roll bar, or harness bar? Just that 1 harness is sure as hell less expensive than 2 seats (I can't stand mis-matched seats!)

I'd have to look at how the harnesses are supposed to attach but I'm sure you could weld a plate to your floor pan and mount the harnesses to that.
your right that the harnesses would be cheaper than seats but I think the seats would hold you better than the harnesses alone.

i know that you are not going to want to go out and buy takata harness....but they are mountable as will many other harnesses without a harness bar or cage. the 2 lap portions of the harness bolt to the oem placements of the seatbelts...allowing for them to still be useable on top of the harnesses and the shoulder straps of the harness would bolt to the anchor points of the seatbelts of the rear seats. the shoulder straps need to either be at 90 or 45 degrees to minimize and further damamge in the instance of a rollover.

I knew that part - and thanks for the suggestion. I figured you could mount the shoulder anchor to the rear seatbelt - I've seen this done before - but I didn't know if it was a safe way to do it.
