Agreed. But they know how important it is and I bet liability is high on such a device maybe?

Even the poverty spec is high as hell!
It looks like the Hybrid S is the only one "approved" for 3 point belt use:

Simpson's Hybrid S model is currently the only Frontal Head Restraint proven effective for 3-point harnesses, and it is also FIA and SFI approved. Additionally, in a partnership with Detroit auto manufacturers, the Hybrid S is third party tested to FMVSS208. The Hybrid S allows high-performance driving instructors, auto manufacturing test engineers, and other drivers with 3-point harnesses access to the advantages of head restraint safety.

Maybe I can explain to my wife the Hybrid S only works together with a new exhaust? It's for my safety!

this is how I got mine during black friday for $200 less. These don't really come up for sale often so this is a great deal

https://www.stableenergies.com/gift-cards/19836-black-friday-gift-card

get a card from these guys, buy a $1000 one and you get $1200, wait a few days and then use the card to buy the simpson. Call em to make sure they have em in stock though but if not you can order from them.

This is a legit shop I been there a few times, been open for a long time, etc.

like the idea! They are also a very legit shop, so no worries there.

$1k gift card is $800, so still about $1k for the Hybrid S.

Wind chill is 30 degrees. I guess I need to get off my ass and take the Conti ECF off the car today.

Thankfully I don't have anywhere to go. Just listen to my dog snore on the couch all day ?
