I installed Sparco/Sabelt harnesses in my NG900. I got the removable 4 point clubman series (2" belts vs. 3" competition style). For the rear attachments, I replaced the rear buckle bolts (down by your hips) with the supplied eye bolts.

For the front/hip attachment points I did something a little different, BTW I have the 3 door so your results may vary. The outboard side was easy, I just repalced the bolt that attaches the original seat belt bar (this allows the O.E. belt to slide rearward for rear seat engress) with the suppied eye bolt. On the inboard side, I first replaced the stock buckle anchor bolt with the supplied eye bolt. The eye bolt rubbed against the carpet against the tunnel, I didn't like this solution. Then I looked to the rear part of the inner track (manual adjustment). There is a cut out at the very rear of the track that I was able to attach the removable buckle. This worked very well, but I didn't like the idea of what might happen in the event of a collision. On to plan C, I removed the inner bolt that attaches the track to the floorpan and replaced it with a longer bolt (plus a nut to snug up against the track to keep everything in place). This allowed me to snap in the harness in seconds.

I think the Schroth Harness is a bolt in application so there might be enough room if you attach the inner strap to the inboard seat belt anchor. The harness reaaly helps you get around the auto-x/track faster. PLus it looks cool!

Good luck with fitting the harness.
