Roll bar install...
Nice!
I agree 94Z28rag, I have the low bars and a Corbeau Forza seat, I'm so used to it I get in and out easily.
I got lucky, chrome moly six point, I think its a Wolfe, came out of a wrecked LS1 SS, $250 then installed for $100. $350 is less than the thing would have cost new before shipping, not too bad of a deal.
Has anyone used anything besides paint on the door bars though? I flop the harness over the bar before getting in, and well now the paint is missing in some spots.

Well, mine isn't a DD, so no big deal for me.
You might want to check the legality of the low-slung bars....some tracks do not consider the point of connection to the hoop high enough on these set-ups. Just something to check out before going to the expense and hassle of installing a roll bar.

i think the door bar has to be elbow height where it passes your body. i'm not really a fan of bars being bent when they don't have to be. it becomes a stress point if the car ever rolls.
According to the NHRA door bars are supposed to mount to the main hoop between the drivers elbow and shoulder when seated and holding the steering wheel. So basically transect the bicep. I'm assuming it's supposed to help keep your arms in the car incase something happens.....Than again last time I checked on the cage deal it was 5 years ago 
The workmanship is very nice, but it absolutely does matter. The best places to tie those bars in is at the rear springs or shocks (or add a X-bar and hit both points). Your rear bars will give little aid in taking the flex out of your launch. How tall are you? The door bars seem to be a little high (maybe you sit further forward?).

I'm 6'-4", and the bar is at the correct location for where I sit in my car.
