I'm pretty sure that's what I've got. Mine has two tail straps that
attach to the rear seat belt mounts and attach to the harness with a clip
type buckle, makin gan 'x' looking thing. The front mount points are the
stock seatbelt locations again, and the staock seatbelts can stay in place
and be used when on the street.
Irritating things about the schroth harnes are that its 2" wide instead of
3", so it sinks down into your body more. It also, on a neon, is a bit of
a struggle to get the right side front harness lap belt up between the
seat and the center console (only applies if you pull the harness outta
the way for the street).
Other than that, I'm pretty happy with it. If I was gonna do it again,
I'd look at what it'd take to adapt a Simpson or whatever 3" system, but
the ability to dissasemble the harness and tuck it outta the way is pretty
handy and I wouldn't want to give that up.
