Default roll cage question

Hello cl, I'm in the market to buy a 4 point roll cage since i never owned a car with one and never have anyone in my back seats and don't plan to have any. I was looking into the autopower roll cage 4 point. does anyone know how the fitment is? also since its my dd can i still keep my rear seats on? if not does anyone here know any 4 points that fits and that still retain the rear seats on. thanks!

Ok I'm going to put the brakes on all the soft, VIPPu, stanced guys who want a rollcage.

Here's the deal, I've had a beer and I'm going to hit you with the truth.

A roll cage is a piece of ancillary equipment that is intended for one purpose, to save your praying for god, miserably inconvenient time for death, holding on for dear-god *** life at 150mph.

If you rock a rollcage on a weak-sauce DD, here's whats going to happen:

-You will get beat up. Yes Chromoly tube is harder then your head, so expect it to bleed. A lot.

-You will never realistically use your back seats other than throwing your Gym bag back there, cause it's gone. Forever.

-Did I mention forever? Cause you have to TIG weld the rollcage in.

-Oh yeah, "Fitment". Well, you are going to have to add, and take away structural metal. Sound good?

Now that I'm done being an a$$hole, here's the other deal:

-If you are one of those Texas, or Florida wackos with a 1400hp Car, for the Love-of-God, please put a Rollgace in that thing, you are going to Kill yourself!

It's kinda like a Welded diff, it's cool to say you have it, but it will make your life miserable.

Hope this helps!
