Thanks for the review! So wait did Cobra do the leather or did you? I should be getting a sample from them some time soon to match the leather and orange stitching (I went orange for my interior).
As to the QFP/4 point harness on the street (and without a HANS), aside from the decreased visibility you also greatly increase the chances of basilar skull fracture in an accident. The airbag will help but will not save you like a HANS. You also run a greater risk of submarining. The seats should have a hole in the bottom for 6 point harnesses to prevent this.
I would look into a Schroth ASM belt for your dual use. It will help avoid both of the above problems.

See here the Quick Fit PRO version is meant to work with a HANS the Quick Fit normal version has the ASM tech so you dont submarine and the airbag can work as intended.
Also "
These harnesses are designed to be used in stock seats that have passed a seat back strength test. Quick Fit harnesses are not approved for any fixed back or aftermarket seats."
I will leave the Rollbar vs Not in combo with 4-6 point harness debate out of it
As to quality the Recaro seats are 1/2 steps ahead of Cobra and or Sparco in terms of perceived quality.
