Might be ordering a roll bar...but..a few questions for you guys..
Here is the roll Bar I'm looking at: http://www.livermoreperformance.com/...ll%20Bars.html
It's actually just a street roll bar...but the back seats are still accessible and there is nothing blocking the front seats. My car is a hardtop...and it's hard to imagine me fitting the roll bar in. How hard is the installation of one of these things?? I don't want to chip my paint or anything like that...and was wondering the diffictuly of installing this roll bar. It's not near as bulky as some of the other roll bars out there...any info would be great. Thanks a ton

You will have to take up the carpet, weld it in, then cut the carpet to put it back down around it.
As for not interfering with the back seats... think again. The bars on the fornt will be right behind the front seats. It is right smack in the middle of the path you take to get into the rear seat. it is possible to get there, but it takes a very limber person to do it.
Here is a pic of mine, but I have a 6-point, so there are bars going to the front area. But look at where the bars go down behind the seats. It is the crossbar that is the big problem. You have to squeexe beetweent he seat, the side bar, and under the crossbar to get to the seat. it is quite comfortable when youg et there (so I am told) but if you crash, the back seat passenger bashes their skull on that bar.

The street rollbar doesn't have that harness brace across the middle, so you can still get in and out of the back.
Bandit5: The roll bar I was looking at is only a 4 point, it bolts in, and there is no cross bar like yours. I've done several searchs...and I haven't found anyone that uses one....maybe I'll be the first? I'm not a big time racer or anything...I just want a simple roll bar that I can install without to many problems.

A four point bolt in cage will be easy to put in as long as you take your time and don't rush things. You shouldn't have to worry about scraching your paint. The hardest part will probally be putting the interior back in. But if your looking for a roll bar that is functional I wouldn't go with a bolt in one. But if your goin for just looks the one you found should be good. As long as they produce good products
