Looks good, but I only see 6 points

I see the two for the main hoop, the 2 door bars, and the two that go down in the back. What am I missing?

Oops. Forgot to mention I didn't put the two that go down to the tunnel in. Didn't seem like a real important thing for a street car.

did you weld it all up?

its a very important piece.
it stabilizes the main hoop in the event of a side rollover.

why the padding on the back down bars?
looks like you did a good job. door panels fit, dont see them installed in the pics.

Very nice.

How much was it?

BlackScreaminMachine · 07-29-2009, 10:52 AM

Well I do not understand the point of putting the cage in and have it be a glorified 4 pt bar, At least put the 2 in the rear hatch and that should qualify for 6pt which allows for a fast ET at the track.

in my opinion of course.

Havok2 · 07-29-2009, 12:47 PM

like 275 or so shipped?

99Ls1fever · 07-29-2009, 12:50 PM

OMG Looks Killer!!! I havent put mine in yet and it has been collecting dust in the garage. That looks really good, Great Job!

Winklethemoose · 07-29-2009, 01:53 PM

So I should probably take the interior back out and weld those tunnel bars in then. lol Oh joy!

Did you look at the pictures? it has 6 points. Check out more of the pictures on here.

How Many Hours did it take you to weld the whole thing in??? I have a mig welder and need to put mine in at some point and just wanted to know the time commetment. Thanks

Spd-Kilz · 07-29-2009, 03:23 PM

Do you have to drop the tank if you're going to weld it in?

99Ls1fever · 07-29-2009, 03:46 PM

I never did on my 3rd gen when I did the roll cage. I just welded an inch or two and then had some one put water on it to cool the weld and then just kept going around until I was done.

Winklethemoose · 07-29-2009, 03:54 PM

Nope didn't have to drop the tank. It took about 8-10 hrs to get everything measured, fitted, cut, welded, cleaned up and painted, spread out over about a week and half. I'm an amatuer welder so I took a lot longer to make sure the welds were good. Could take an expirienced person a lot less time. And price was like he said 275 shipped, got here two days later. Used VHT Epoxy Paint if anyone wants to know, got it from the local advance auto parts(were I work).

black01_WS6 · 10-26-2009, 09:07 PM

did you put in your back seats? or do they not fit.

any recent pics with everything installed, any problems with the doors panals fitting?

tripblackls1 · 10-26-2009, 09:34 PM

curious about the door panels as well i was under the impression that you needed to get the door bars bent to get the panels to fit??

SHovV · 10-26-2009, 11:28 PM

looks good. im gonna be doin one ( 6pt ). but im gonna paint mine to match the car

black01_WS6 · 10-27-2009, 07:31 PM

anyone know about the door bars? do they fit with the interior door panels?
