I have the Eye-bolt mounted Backdraft version. I am only 5'7"and it fits me fine. The look of the roll bar mount didn't appeal to me. The other concern with the roll bar mount is having the metal adjustment buckles on the belts being able to scratch the paint job in front of the roll bar if you are not very careful. If you are going to do a lot of track events, then do the research on true fit for your size, that is way more important than looks. If you are just street driving, you probably won't even use the shoulder belts half the time. Especially if you have kids in the car, you shouldn't be driving in a manner that would necessitate the shoulder belts. In the hot summer months, you'll leave the shoulder belts off a lot so you can pry your sweat soaked t-shirt off the back of the seat while driving down the road.
