Well the one I bought is over a hundred new with only 2 gauge cable. So I'd guess that is not completely out of line. The box is what is the rip off. It doesn't cost anymore to injection mold a better box, LOL
Smog laws,NHRA laws,have no shame. I find it amazing, a stock factory lap belt is safe,(to a certain extent),yet a 4 or 5 point harness,needs a recert every few years. That's mental ( a strong 4-5 point harness over a few years ,is illegal. Yet a 40+ year old lap belt is legal. Amazingly wrong in common sense.)Damn...
