Default Roll bar pics

I finally broke down and put a roll bar in my car. I always wanted a fast street car, but it was getting to dangerous. On low boost it ran 11.3@135 that's with 20psi and 2.0 60ft. I had one of my friends draw it on autocad and we bent the cage as close to the roof as possible. I'll get more pictures when I'm done with the roll bar. Here's what I have done so far, we've already bent the door bars but haven't welded it in yet.

You should definitely paint it. That thing sticks out like poo on a white t shirt in your full interior car.

I like the form so far and yes I agree paint it but I am sure you were doing that as this is in progress.

Awesome to see a roll bar surrounded by leather interior...but you should probably just go ahead and take out that back seat...you could probably sell it on here for a nice piece of puddin.

I haven't had a chance to finish up the 6 point, it'll be about 2-3 weeks before I can work on the car. I'll update the car and hopefully run faster times.
