WHAAAAT!
That thing is sick. I want one.
Do you think this is more for leisure shifting? (if so I'm in) I would imagine it adds quite a bit of travel to the trow.

Yea its very comfortable for just shifting like a normal person and not beating on the car... As far as the travel goes its not as bad as u would think.. Im very happy with it and i just painted the extension piece gloss black last night ill take a pic later on

So i did it.. Pulled the trigger and got a NRG harness bar to mount my harness. Took the back seats out to make sure no one sat back there as it is unsafe. I may eventually put them back in but the plan right now is to make them into a couch for my living room
Harness will be mounted later today after work
Harness is made by Pit Road M in Japan signed by the owner of the company which translates to his blessing for the harness to keep me safe. I HAVE THE ONLY ONE IN THE UNITED STATES. which is huge for me. I am only allowed to order 1 more for the passenger side then no more will be shipped to the US.
And thats all i have to say about that...

just put the bar in last night so i haven't driven much with it in.. but i can already tell its a bit stiffer. as far as driving with the back seats out its not as bad as you might think. with the windows up the exhaust note is only louder if i am really getting on it. windows open cant tell a thing. but you do hear more road noise either way especially rocks and gravel kicking up in the wheel wells
also the blue on the bar is actually really close to the paint which im very happy about

Get rid of the bar under where the seat was! Its 10 lbs of useless!

really? i thought it did some sort of bracing there.

Nah, just keeps fatties from sagging when they're in the back.
But that reminds me, you should do the home-depot rear-chassis bridge, (or go for the full-price option if you're so inclined). Now that actually provides real-world bracing!

please explain.

carlabs x-brace did, but its heavyish and $$$. I think TIC bought the rights and is doing it now. $450 or so.
Then there's the Litespeed Chassis Bridge. It's essentially two cables, diagonally across the trunk opening (where rear seat-backs would be) exactly the same place as the X-brace. It, too, prevents parallelogram-ing. But it's along the linkes of $150.
Then theres the Home Depot Racing (HDR) version of the Litespeed Chassis Bridge. It's EXACTLY the same, except its DIY. I bought way too much stuff (to avoid having to drive back to the store) and did it for $15 IIRC.
To those skeptics, It works.
Here's the rigid/welded X-brace, unbolted at the bottom:
And my annecdotal evidence is from backing into my old parking space required backing over a drainage ditch where the car wanted to tripod which led to a lot of squeaking. After installing my HDR chassis bridge, the sqeaking almost disappeared.
