cleanest 6 pt roll bar
cleanest 6 pt roll bar
I'm in the market for a 6 pt roll bar. I want to have removable door bars. I would like to hear experiences from those who have really clean looking installations and who the manufacturer is. I am basically looking for a real nice looking/fitting 6 pt roll bar for our third gen's.

Re: cleanest 6 pt roll bar
I have to assume you want to know which roll bar fits well with interior in the car. The main hoop doesn't have an exact location but there's only one real place for it to fit. The cross bar will make getting into the back seat next to impossible. The rear bars can go anywhere from on top of the shock mounts to all the way to the rear. There is no specific location they have to be.
The last thing to consider is the door bars. Some kits have legal door bars, some do not. Most kits designed for third gens have the door bars bent to clear the arm rests and are still legal. You can upgrade the door bars in any kit to become swingout bars for easier access.
None of the kits are 100% exact fit. Cutting and trimming is always required. The best fitting roll bar will be custom made by a chassis shop.
Although even a 13 second third gen will benefit from a simple 6 point roll bar, as well as having SFC, the roll bar is not required until you hit 11.49 in the 1/4 mile.
