Saw this bar at the fbody gathering this past weekend and it looks top notch. Thinking of getting one for my 91 TA. Hawks has great parts and is awesome to deal with so if you want a great addition to your car check this out.
How sturdy is it? I would hate to drop 5 bill's and have one of my drunkin friends break it the first night! If its just screwed on into plastic I would be worried.
I saw the bar at the G8 F-body event. The bar was mounted with two steel plates per side. One plate mounted under the shoulder belt mount point. The second was an angle steel piece that bolted to the steel support structure. The plastic trim piece that covers the shoulder belt mount are needs to be trimmed at the bottom for the plate to clear. If you're concerned about trimming an OEM plastic piece Hawkes has aftermarket trim pieces available. It is definitely solidly mounted.
Originally posted by iansane I'd rather spend $500 on a 8 point roll bar, installation and a 5 point harness. But that's just me. Lightbars look cool...I guess.
where did you get $500 at? or you talking chromolly and install price?
my 8point was right around $200 but a buddy and I are puting it in ourself so.

I just meant that for the same price of that lightbar, you can get an 8 pt, have it installed, and get a decent 5 pt harness to go with it. I don't have a tubing notcher so I'll have to wait and have someone else install mine.
