they make one that goes behind the rear seats and bolts to where the seat belts mount and that's the only one I know of. Everyone says it doesn't do anything but I wouldn't know.

i bought mine from somebody on here (from cali)

at the time i knew of two places to get this, but i can't find either right now.

i was also working with a company by me to reproduce this a little different.

as a drawback..you won't be able to recline your seats at all.
put it all the way forward then go back 3 clicks...it will now rub on the bar.

^^^ This was the guy who came to mind. Real nice piece, but IMO not for daily driving.

1. guy...??? what you talking about...lol (your gonna ruin the fun)
2. i think it is fine for daily driving, but not for any long trips where you (or a passenger) would like to recline. no such thing as pulling into a rest area to get a few zzz's. can't move the back down a notch because this position is uncomfy...

but yes, the main idea is this...good for show, but a pain for real world stuff.

if you are refering to the C or D pillar bars,i would agree.

if you are refering to the B pillar harness bar. i strongly disagree.
where else do you plan on attaching a harness to??
this one is not a 'looks' part, but a very functional device (if you need it...)

I agree something is needed to mount the 5 point harness to but a low mounted B pillar isn't right. What is needed is more of a half cage that has a tall hoop in just the right spot to mount the harnesses to so if you crash your spine doesn't get compressed if you know what I mean.
