    true racing seat belts are 5 point or 6 point. a 4 point will allow you to "submarine" or go out the bottom of the belt in a head on collision. 4 point wont pass any safty tech inspection for drag racing. also racing harnesses need to have the webbing replaced every 2 years for drag racing and i believe every 4 years for road racing.

    if you just want them for the look and not because they are required for some racing your doing, i would suggest getting some modern style like these http://www.morrisclassicconcepts.com/seatbelts.html
