I want to see your 8 point roll bars.

What I want to see is how you mounted your 8 point roll bar/cages to the floor in all locations. Detailed pics would be nice.

I am planning on installing a set and need ideas on how to make the plates they will be welded to.

i am also interested as well. i will be installing a cage this spring. i have a question about how the bars clear the armrests. do they go over, under, or around the armrest. also do the swing outs clear the armrests.

I am going to make a set of custom door pannels that have no armrests.

I do not have any room for arm rests AND the bar.

I've got some grey ones designed for that, made for manual windows.

I actually was looking for stock grey interior and this custom stuff was all I could find in my area. They were made to match the custom 3rd gen seats.



They are pretty cool, but I'm putting 4th gen seats in so I'm gonna try and get this racing stuff to someone who needs it.

Or just recover the doorpanels since my car has power everything.


So all cages with side bars will get in the way of the arm rests?
