Few more questions, if you don't mind!

Were the rear seat bar/windshield bars your "fault?" As in, are they in the "wrong" place due to your installation or due to how Wolfe designed it?

Were the swingout door bars designed in the cage or did you install those?

Do you drive the car on the street? If so, how does it feel with both the cage and SFC's?

1. The rear seat bar are an option. If you look at the rear bars of my cage that go through the speaker holes. if I ordered the over the seat bars they would go down on the ledge behind the rear seat.

Also the windshield bar I think could have been designed a little better. I think it could have been a little higher. I just couldn't massage things to get it to fit how I liked it,

2. Wolfe doesn't do swing outs on there 10 point. I bought the kit from S&W. All you do to install the swing outs is install the bar as designed then cut the section out you want to swing out.

3. I drive the car a desent amount for an 8 secon car maybe 3k miles a year. car drives fine and is really ridged.

Hope this helps let me know if you have any other questions

I just installed a 10 pt chromoly cage from Wolfe. I have to say I was alittle disappointed in it. Some of the notches left terrible gaps. And the door bars had to be bent more so the doors would shut. The scribed lines were terrible. Some were usable. Some were chicken scratch. My window bar had over an inch differnce from side to side. It is a decent peice but not perfect. Just take your time and double check everything

Sorry I have been busy and my car has been sitting in my trailer for the last week. I would get the wolfe kit as it is set up for the way there bars run. Also All we did was modify the bottum mount in order to get it to work with the swing out bar.
