Well its good it has a snug fit which makes for a much more professional look, but thats usually the down side, its a PITA to install. I'll probably give it a shot over the winter. Dont drive the car anyway, so I'll have plenty of time to stop and stare at it thinking to myself, why the hell did I decide I was going to do this.

I don't really understand the padding on the harness bar but not the other bars? Padding should be on the main hoop above the window sill level and the diagonal bar above the window sill level.

Yea the Roll bar is legal in a lot a forms of racing but not drag racing.
I just got booted from my local strip the other night and they told me that I have to have a cage with door bars, at least 6 points.
I was considering the roll bar since the price is decent for what you get but besides the fact that I want to road race my car i still want to be able to take it to the strip and not get booted.

Looks good though

ill probably make a roll bar (11.49-10.00) and a roll cage(9.99-8.50) and sell them here if theres enough interest.perhaps ill add whatever is needed for other forms of racing(i think a diagonal on main hoop is all thats needed)
