I know as far as for seat harness go, go for name brand and not ebay but what about the harness bar? and anyone know where a good place to get them cheap is? I looked on tunerssports and didn't see anything.

Word.
Roll bars and roll cages will either have the option for or will come with a built in harness bar.
The Hard Dog M2 I have in my Miata has a built in harness bar that the previous owner used when he was on the track.
Unless you are making a track car, don't get harnesses.

unfortunely the aftermarket seats I have need harness belts there no were to install the oem seatbelts and if that's the case why do they make them?

Look into a roll cage? I know there's plenty of prefabbed ones for integras, Autopower's are fully welded, I wouldn't use bolt together ones like Cusco and some other companies make.
When I had my 240 and went to Road Atlanta for a track day, the instructor wouldn't ride with anyone if they just had part of the safety equipment. It was either all stock, or you had to have proper roll cage, fia harnesses, fia seats, all mounted correctly. They went through a big explanation that using stock seats with a harness was dangerous, using fia seats with stock belts was dangerous, having seats and harnesses without a proper cage was dangerous, etc, etc. I had a welded in cage, fia momo seat for me, fia harness for me, but stock seat and seat belts for the passenger. He wouldn't ride because he said if we had a wreck he might get hurt by the cage, idk.
If you have a shop that deals with building race cars around there they should know all the specifics like the back of their hand, and no professional would recommend a flimsy harness bar that goes between the c pillars.
That was the only car I had serious safety equipment in, all other cars I left stock because I didn't want all that in my daily driver. But I never had a problem at a track using stock seats and belts. I do know other people who couldn't pass inspections because they had half done setups.

They make them because people buy them, they also have "for off road use only" written all over them. They aren't dot approved, and they aren't fia approved. They're show pieces.

They are made for off road use only. They are designed as part of a safety system that is impractical and dangerous for daily street use.
The oem safety equipment, including seats, is designed as an interdependent system.
Aftermarket safety parts are designed as an interdependent system.
The systems don't mix and match without taking a huge loss to safety or practicality.

already have these Recaro Type Replica but there no mounting for the seatbelt just thru the head rest. I get all that but I am not taking the teggy off roading, and its a daily driven street car. Also, a shopped didn't suggest going a safer route when I Asked about harnass bars.

Well do what you will but, I wouldn't use any replica seats and I wouldn't go to a shop that didn't recommend something better. Since it's a daily driven street car I would be even more paranoid about having proper safety equipment because you have no control over every other driver out there.
Not sure what the replica recaro is but ITR Recaros don't go for that much and you can use the oem seat belts with them.

I say that because there made by NRG and I just looked there is no spot for it.

Probably talking about the buckle part, which is attached to the seat
EDIT:
This is why, replica's are not a good purchase

Correct, there isn't a spot for it. I honestly have hard a lot of good things about NRG seats tbh.
