the front door bar mount holes were dead on top of the frame walls and the undercar plates they gave me had 4 holes in each corner perfectly spaced out, prob is the plates on the bars didnt have perfectly spaced holes on them so only 3 of the 4 holes lines up.

Sorry to hear the troubles. IMO, Wolfe has the best production rollbar out there. I've installed about 6 of them and never had any problems (bolt in or weld in). You're not going to find any easier "legal" side bars for getting in/out of the car.....Wolfe's are EASY compared to most.

The car looks great though

How far can you sit your seat back with that center bar across like that? That is probably the only thing stopping me from purchasing a rollbar right now.

Yeah, thats what I mean. That'd be nice if you could get pictures of all the points where the bar connects with the car though

Sorry to hear your troubles...the guy that installed mine said it was a bitch too, a couple of bolts anyhow. I think he just drilled all the way through the floor in the end, right through my subs and through the bottom plate, then had to get longer bolts.

, I have swingouts,,, if anyone else is getting a rollbar, and it's a daily driver, you must get swingouts!

I take my swing outs out 1/2 the year when not at the track, so it's like there is no roll bar in the car now as far as convenience. (Front passengers only though!) . I capped the upper side off, Tbyrne/ Wolfe and others sell the little press on aluminum covers that look good. '

Also - and this sounds cheesy but it's not...I had this idea, you can put black (or whatever color) neoprene beer bottle coolers over the short parts left on the floor swingouts, so you don't smash your ankle on them. works great.
