oh i know it just sucks thats all

Believe Niemi got a little more from SanJ no? That's why they bid up Hjalmerson so high to make the Hawks choose between the 2

bolt in from some german company...would be nice to get a similar bolt in fabbed so I won't have to do any permanent welding or maybe just weld it lol

It's only the rear section...don't wanna go full cage on a street car

Showcar · 01-26-2011, 09:46 AM

Looks good Brian. Go bolt in. Its alot less work to remove when you sell the car and you can tell the new buyer its stock.

BTM · 01-26-2011, 09:53 AM

Yea I really just want a harness mount but my fucking mom is freaking about how I'm gonna die and shit

like she will know the difference between a harness bar and the half cage

BTM · 01-26-2011, 10:10 AM

haha she knows what a rollbar is/does

Showcar · 01-26-2011, 10:11 AM

The only thing that worries me about bars in a street car is the possibility of hitting your head on the bar during a collision padded or not. On most cars the headrest is to small to block the bar. I personally do not like bars in street cars. Thats another reason bolt in bars has its advantages. Use only as needed.

Yea I hear ya...apparently the one that I posted has the rollover hoop far back enough to prevent this, believe it's TUV approved for street use in Germany but who knows how that carries into liability murkiness in the US
