    I'd ditch the three-point belts. They look like crap and are out of place here. Granted, the owner probably has four kids and is uber-paranoid about getting pulled over for "unbelted passengers". Ditch the belts, install normal lap belts and go!

    Yep, that's just plain crazy. :coco:

    Even $28k would be overpriced.

    I would keep the belts. Not because of fear of being pulled over but for the safety of my family. Even the AACA will allow for safety upgrades...

    Lap belts, sure. Shoulder belts are just wrong here.

    Wrong or not, if the car is used for long distance cruising, especially if there are children in childseats or booster seats, the lap belts are needed. Safety before aesthetics in my book.

    Looks pretty bad for the third row seats, but I have three kids and if my wagon gets used for transporting the family any distance, I will resign myself to adding the three point belts as well.
