Default Anyone with a Harddog roll bar with stock hoops/interior

Trying to figure out which configuration to go with. But i'd like to keep my stock hoops/seat belts as its a street car too. Just like some added safetly. Also like to keep as much interior as possible.

Pics would be nice too.

Consider the fact that your head can impact an after market roll bar if it's in head striking distance. If you aren't going to wear a helmet I would factor that into the purchase equation.

I think you can only get the version without any diagonals or harness bar if you plan to keep the entire interior useable. If you get the diagonal or even a removable you will have to cut quite a bit

I'd probably get a Cusco if you want the added safety as it works with the entire interior in place

Where I sit right now, my head is far away from where the roll bar would be. specially since I have a bucket which is not reclined back.
I factored that in already.

Ive been keeping the cusco in mind also but if im gonna drill into the car, why not just go with something stronger?

If I were gonna have a roll bar installed I would do it right and have it welded in
That bolt in stuff just dosen't cut it for me

ive seen the diagonal work and keep all the interior as well. you just have to cut the plastic for the downbars so itll slip into the void you made in the plastic hoop.

Theres no going back with weld on. Bolt on is strong enough for me.

Good to know. Yeah I've seen diagonals with interior panels so Im assuming it either fits or panels have to be trimmed.

You should check out Jei's bar before you pull the trigger on anything else. PM me and I can put you in contact with him if you don't have his info already.
