    I installed one last summer. Mark all holes, and drop in the bolts at each one before you drill the next hole. Bolt-in? Going into a 2/4 door? Which bar with what options? Running harnesses?

    Get Padding!

    I got the race bar with bolt out cross bars.
    PM me if you have any other q's

      I had an Autopower street roll bar in my old car. Install was very simple and straight forward. Watch out for the fuel/brake lines on the driver side and thats about it.

          It's the street bar with the harness bar. My Schroth harness is actually attached to the rear seat belt anchor points so I don't have to worry about them. Thanks for the tips on the fuel lines...where's best place to buy padding?

            summit racing is decent. Get the SFI rated dense stuff - save the pool noodle looking stuff for the odd spots where you cant get the SFI to go.
