Please help....I'm lost.
I am trying to find a roll bar for my GTA. But I am trying to find a particular one. Not that long ago I saw on a website or in a magazine a bolt in roll bar for a thirdgen. But it was a little different than the usual. This one had the traditonal roll bar, with the supports to the rear wheel wells. But instead of having the regular front arms that you have to climb over or swing out, it had arms that were as low as your front seat. They came out from the bottom of the roll bar and straight across the door opening rather than coming from the center of the roll bar and diagonally across the door opening. In other words they would pose no hinderance to entering or exiting the vehicle at all. Does anyone know what I am talking about? Does anyone have one?? Does anyone know who makes this? Thanks.

Thanks Mr.Dude thats the one. I thought Kenny Brown made it but the only f-body part on there site now is the diamond sub-frames. Everything else is crustang. As for not likeing it, thats your opinion and your intitled to it. I was going more for looks and chassis strength than I was for a actual roll cage. My local track goes by the IHRA rule that says a solid roof car will require a roll bar when it exceeds the 11.49 e/t mark. Well I don't ever plan on taking my GTA to that level. Mid 12's I where I want to be so I can run in my local real street class and dominate it. Real street here having a cut-off of 12.49. Then your in pro street. I always liked that roll bar, and in my opinion roll bars/cages in street cars give the car a very powerful look. Thanks for your help.
