GG; Can I haz roll bar?

Okay so I got some better pictures but only one real good interior shot. It was still dark but not that many parking garages that wont kick you out. I havent washed my car in like a month or two nor have I vacuumed out the inside. There is still metal shavings and dust all over. Dont care. Maybe when I can drag my friend out of bed before it gets dark out I can have some better ones.

Bolt in autopower race bar welded cross brace. I will be welding the bottom plates to the car soon as it dries up. I dont think ill fully weld it to he car just because be a mess to take it out if I decide that I want to go stock.... Whats not in the picture are AutoEXE struts and bracing.

Also the stupid angle brace thats behind the rear seat that I painted black will be coming out. One more eye pleasing will be made. I have a lot on my plate for a friend I need to finish before I can start that.

Now hopefully I can get stance coilovers soon

Full roll bars are not street legal. Not sure if rear roll bars are either with cars that have back seats. It is because you do not drive on the street wearing a helmet. If you get in an accident then it would be easy for the driver or a passenger to slam their head against it.

It was a general statement. Obviously our car was designed with backseats so it is worth mentioning for anyone considering adding a roll bar.

I didnt remove mine for loss of weight. I did it a long time ago because I was sick of giving people rides. The noise is rather annoying, but I listen to smacking rivets all day so a little road drone is like sitting in a library.

GTFO Mike! You saw for yourself when I installed it in your parking lot

Oh yeah David I was looking for the RCW on roll bars but I couldn't find anything. Just ref for other people. I have never heard of someone getting a ticket for it. I guess you would have to royal **** off a cop to make them jump your **** about it.
