i really wouldnt suggest that. usually with a harness is suppose to be used with a roll cage, to prevent your head from getting crushed. but anyways, IF you were to get it mounted, the harness is to be mounted at a certain angle. if the angle is too much it may not work properly.

To put this in simple terms - no matter what you do, if that red "SRS" light is on - the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners WILL NOT FUNCTION.

I wouldn't do it just because of the airbag situation anyways.

If he follows through with this modification, it's probably going to be more work than he bargained for. The side airbags will be gone, and who knows how he'll trick the SRS system into thinking they are there. And the OPDS light (Side Airbag Off) will probably go nuts. If he leaves the SRS light on, crash protection is greatly reduced - the airbags and electronic seatbelt tensioners will not function.

Acura TLS are SLOW
The accord seat brackets will fit but you have have to modify one of the mounting bolt on the rear of the bracket. As for the SRS, a resister has to be used to to turn the SRS light off and keep the rest of the system working (ie front airbags).

I would go check to see what type of resister is needed but im too lazy. If you want take a Muilti meter and play around with the 2 green SRS line and see what ohms you need to slow the current flow down.

I say do what you want to do. Yet I don't quite get this one. The TL isn't a lil sport compact, nor is it a sports car for which racing seats with 5 pt.'s would be fitting. I think the type-s seats fit the car just fine, staying in tune with the luxury aura of Acura.

I gotcha. My suspension was extremely stiff on my last car and it gets really annoying when you bounce and slide all over the place. Best of luck on making something work. You will need a resistor in order to keep the SRS light off and keep the airbags functioning. Let me know what you find though, I'm curious to see what is required.
