Hopefully I'm just doing something wrong, can anyone give me pics of how an autopower 4pt should be installed in a coupe?
I picked it up 2 days ago, was told this cage is for a coupe and not a hatch.
I was under the impression the rear bars bolted next to the shock tower, but they look like I need to cut the hell out of my rear 1/4 panels in order to bolt them to the front of the wheelwell?
I'm really hoping somone has pics of one of these installed properly. I'm on my way right now to drive up the santa rosa to have it sandblasted and then powdercoated black

You may have too. Carefully cut out the section needed and after you install the bar, epoxy the cut piece back in. Sand the epoxy down flush and paint the panels with OEM color interior plastic paint. If you do it right, nobody will ever know!

I would make sure it's installed correctly first, then pull it out and go get it coated. Who in Santa Rosa does your powdercoating??
