it looks nice, but I push my car hard. I would need to make sure it would keep me safe if something tragic happens. I don't like a false sense of security. I don't want to just "look the part" . Please keep this thread updated if you find out for sure it is "legit". I like the fact this one simply bolts in and out, nothing permanent. I guess I want the best of both worlds. Stock when not tracking, security/safety on the track.

What is it actually bolting to? Is it frame points?

niice set up! in for pics with PC and installed! I was talking to a local shop about a roll bar like the one I posted and pricing was actually not bad but a lot of the classes I like to race in require full interior so I'm hopping RPMs version doesn't require to remove the rear seats.

Hello all,

Just wanted to take a quick second and post that my car will be going to RPM Roll Bar on Monday, September 20th. They will be installing a 6pt Roll Bar (color matched), RPM harness kit, Seat belt mounting kit, Seat back rest as well as a color matched firewall. As the installation progresses they will send me photos of the installation and I will post in this thread.

looking forward to seeing the progression.

Is this a permanent bar or removable one?

It will be removable, however from what I understand it's not something you would want to do like every week. In addition from what I understand the 5/6pt are bolt in while the 8pt will be welded into place, so my assumption would be the 8pt will not be removable while the 5 / 6pt will be removable.

In addition from my discussions the 5/6pt will allow the back seat to stay in place and not have to be removed after installation.
