They’re very cost effective considering you get the whole front and rear set and don’t have to modify anything unless you want to use the heated seats. If you only do a driver bucket, planted seat bracket, a roll bar for a 6pt harness to properly mount it would all come out to the same if not more unless you bought it all second hand. You shouldn’t use the OEM 3 point belt on a bucket, an accident could leave you with a spinal injury or worse if you get into a decent accident. Met too many people in the ambulance/hospital with spinal injuries (in general) to even want to consider it.

Properly routed, why wouldn't a factory three point belt still do seat belt things in a race bucket? It still covers your lap and chest and the tensioners still work if you don't disable them.

Many race bucket seats have high sides at the waist and shoulder area which will keep the three point belt from making contact with the body. Some come with slots which allow the three point harness to come in closer to the body, and these would be OK to use.

You just route the belt through the slots. Its not that hard. The buckle will be a big pain in the ass to connect, but if you want to rock a race bucket without a harness that is the correct way to do it.
