As long as your seatbelt mounts are solid you are good to go.

That "dummy" light means that all of your airbags are disabled. I can't understand how there would be "....no safety concerns". Do you honestly believe air bags do nothing? I can understand if you switch to a correctly mounted 5 point harness and wear a helmet but the OP has mentioned keeping stock functionality so I doubt he is going this far, which for the street would be completely impractical. For the street with a standard seat belt you definitely want the air bags to be working correctly. This is terrible and unsafe advice you are spewing.

I have heard conflicting reports then, but either way, you are at the very least losing side air bags which is a safety concern.

The system disables all airbags. I guess thats ok for some who drive around on a street strapped in with a 5 point and a helmet.

Someone I follow did Braum seats. I would probably go with a well known brand though like Recaro. There's a reason why GM teamed up with Recaro for the 1LE seats.

100000000% This ^^^

With safety equipment, spend the money and buy quality parts, PERIOD, your life depends on it. Look at seats that are certified for their safety. I would only trust two brands, Sparco and Recaro. I personally use Sparco at the moment but I've used Recaro in the past, both are great brands to consider.

I contacted a few camaro6 owners I found with aftermarket seats and all have the light on still.. I understand it’s just a light and seat airbags are off .. but NY inspection can be a bitch .. so I rather have the light off lol
