Looking for options for my car, I am moving back home(Guam), and would like all the work done on my car before I leave. I know I can get a custom one built, but that cost too much right now. What roll bars are you using, and where and how much did you get them done for. thanks.

Autopower's are dirt cheap and will get the job done, you can get them welded in pretty cheap too [patriot]

I have one it's a competition engineering.

A little welding and notching.

Not bad for 130 that I paid for the 8 point.

I welded it myself. [patriot]

I was going to tig weld it but too much of a hassle to get the tig welder over the place or take the car to my buds shop.

So I just used a 220 mig welder.

I have the 8pt bar with swing outs and a couple improvements. This stuff felt really heavy to me. I had a friend in lodi weld mine in and it came out ok but took 3 monthes [Eek!] My application did not justify a custom tig welded chromolly cage.

Do it yourself if you can weld. It's a long project but worthwhile.

500 for everything, as in the cage, welding, painting, and install, if that is the case take it

i have an MM cage in my car with swing out bars cost me $400, there are only 2 tubes u have to weld, i set up my welder and did it in 10 minutes
