Yeah ! i took me a year to the day (got it in april) to research and plan for it build up the need for it and bust out the cash for it it was that camaro that put me over the top and made me do it it inspired me to make my VERT stand out from the others

The blue 89 iroc, belongs to my buddy, He custom made that rollbar in his shop (Custom Street Dreams), that car is incredibly BADA$$!!!, too say the least.

I like the bar in your car, Giddyup305, though it looks a lit too tall, could be just the picture though.

If you put your car up on this site, get ready to take the bad with the good. Just try to take it in stride.

BTW, it looks nice.

Looks good Man! I think roll bars look good in 'verts, though I prefer the look of a 'light bridge' like the type offered by RK Sport for 4thgens. Probably not much help in a rollover though.

Why get "opinions" at all then , If you wont accept negative feedback it is pointless.

To me the rollbar makes it look a little like a bumper car or something... just put one of those huge poles on the back, and you'll be stillen!

But on the bright side... bumper cars kick ***!!!!

I think roll bars are cool but seriously dude grow up... you don't need to get all mad because someone does not agree with your taste. People on this bored are too immature.

Then you should have said "complimentary opinions only, please" in the original post.

Not everyone is going to love your car... get over it.

GROW UP

ITS A FACT OF LIFE THAT WHEN YOU ASK FOR AN OPINION, YOU MAY GET ONE THAT YOU DO NOT CARE FOR

I SIMPLY GAVE MY OPINION AND SAID THAT I DID NOT CARE FOR THE ROLL BAR

I DID NOT SAY YOU SHOULD REMOVE IT, NOR DID I DIS YOUR CAR

GET USED TO IT

Looks good but I think if you are worried about safety, it would have been better to get a hardtop.

I don't like the rollbar, but the car is sweet as hell.

If you don't want negative comments about your car, or parts you have on your car for that matter, then I recommend you don't post pics of it. No matter what, there will be someone who doesn't like something aftermarket. Not all aftermarket parts look good on cars to everyone. People DO have different opinions. I personally do not like the roll bar. Other's do. Its your car, if you're happy with it, then good. But when someone doesn't like it, accept it. Don't explode about it. Grow up.
