There appears to be a 5-point Simpson racing harness used with the stock seats. I wonder exactly how they did that? The rear of the harness appears attached to the roll bar just behind the seats. I assume that they put a bolt through the floor for the fifth belt.
Did they use the stock seat belt mounting locations for the lap belt? Did they just thread these 3 inch belts through the center between the headrest supports? I wouldn't have thought they would fit. Were these seats modified in any way, or do they still recline?

Basically its a small prep race event most likely sanctioned by NASA, and theres are not a whole lot of regulations in preping a car for one make racing. Especially when all the cars must be modified similarly. Harness Bars must be installed to vehicles, they usually run along the back end and are welded to the mainhoop of a 4 or 6pt roll cage, and they can be fed over the shoulder of the seat,

I would not mind having that livery on my car.
Also, that does not look like the TRD or Five:AD spoiler, I wonder what they are using... |

Finally a car that's using the same summer tires as me. I was starting to think I don't have taste.

Fog lights are replaced with a flat panel. If the panel were painted it might look pretty good. Drop and rim size looks great.
