I usually only have the racing seat in for track days, then I pull out the passenger seat and rear seat too. Could still fit people in the back with the bar but it'll come off when I go back to DD mode.
Materials were about $90. Main bar is 1.25" x .120 DOM . I sourced the struts from A circle track supplies site, they are swedge arms off a sprint car. The end brackets I bent from some 2" x 1/8" strap (made a jig for my shop press out of some 1/4" plate and some angle). Then welded it all up. followed the SCCA Harness bar reqs.
I needed the bar to be able to run the seat in the Extreme Speed 350z Competition Cup

I'll try to remember to get some shots of the mounts when I take it off, I'd have to remove the panel. The the lower strut heim joint is bolted to the lower seat belt mounting point. I have this pic, didn't want to post it because it shows how bad a welder I am...

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
New front BBK; 6 pot Wilwood Superlite calipers, 14" 2 piece Wilwood rotors, and stainless steel lines. 
Will get better pictures on the car when I can get it out of the garage. We broke a bleeder on the passenger side and I think I might have to order one from Wilwood direct. Until then the car's not going anywhere. 
Donor car
Stock caliper
New caliper and rotor
