how usable is the rear seat?....can you still use it with the bar there....
on a scale of 1-10 how hard is it to get in back there....assuming 1 is how hard it is to get in stock and 10 is impossible never gonna happen.
and is there room to sit with the bars in the way?

I also have the Wolfe 6-pt but my bars mount to the rear deck area instead of thru the speaker grilles.
No need to pony up the xtra $$ for the swing-outs. Everyone that I have talked with that got them told me they were a waste of money - they hardly ever use the swing-out feature. It's easy enough to get into the front seats with the std. bar (at least for me at 5'10").
As far as getting in & out of the backseat goes - I would say that unless you're 3 years old, it would be a 10 on your scale. I wouldn't want anyone sitting back there in any event. If something happened they would have the crossbar imbedded in their face.
Oh, and BTW, you can scratch the idea of your backseat folding down also - it will only go partway until it hits the crossbar.
The Wolfe went in with no problems and fits perfectly. One thing to remember is if you are planning on using harnesses and getting rid of the stock shoulder seat belts as I did - make sure to remove the stock belts BEFORE you install the bar. It's pretty damn hard to remove the side plastic panels at the top and unbolt the seat belt adjuster once the bar is in.

That would definitely save you some weight - since they are fairly useless anyway. I kept mine only because my car is mostly a show car and keeping the seats lookes better for judging...

Ok, I didn't get the swing out's. My skinny butt just slides right over them. I have padding on them now cause I kept scratching the paint off. I would say the rears are useless for an adult but my 8yr old loves them and has no problem. If he didn't ride in it with me then I would leave the seats out all the time. LOL...I give it a 10 also for getting into the back unless you like climbing through the hatch. I got the carbon fiber from RKsport about 6yrs ago.
I forgot I had this pic.

That is the heaviest/best grade of padding that was available thru Jegs - tightest fit was between the top bar and the headliner - still no problem - it barely touches against the headliner.
I can tell you though - with the padding installed the small mailbox area available to view out thru your rear window is all but gone. You have to really TRY to see what is behind you. It's only important when wanting to change lanes and look for the odd police car following behind as you're doing 110

00SS4780 LMAO!! I only read my skinny butt slides right over them and scrolled for the pic and saw a very small individual sitting in the seat! I reread the post and figured out that it was your kid in the pic. LOL
EDIT: Does anyone have any pics of a 10pt cage?
