They would be much better off just sticking with OEM 3-point and air bags. Modern cars are very safe. Much more-so than some of the dumb-sh1t things I see like 4 point harnesses, harness but no hans, etc. It is very expensive to do a real safety upgrade on a street car, figure your seats(400-1000 each), hans (400), 4 or 6 point cage(3+ grand if its done right), the actual harnesses(2-300),helmet(4-600), and they all need to be done at the same time. Otherwise probably just best buying a good helmet and sticking with air bags.
All of your prices are very much on the low side. Don't forget fire suppression,etc...

Fortunately Corner 3's contingency program is pretty damn good lol. But yeah figure in the neighborhood of 10K+. You can't just buy a $900 bolt in bar, a seat from Ebay, and a Takata 4 point harness of death and expect it to outperform the entire OEM safety system that has been designed and tested with crash test dummies.
