the reason why I f'ing hate the roll bars in the street cars is because once I was riding (front passenger) to the gym in my friend's STOCK 92 accord, and he decided to suddenly veer to the left; I was somewhat asleep (thus not anticipating anything), and my head hit the seatbelt support loop (which is at temple level in the accord), I almost kicked his ass for that. that could have killed me, or have made me brain damaged.
people, just remember, car manufacturers make 95% of the materials inside the interior of modern cars somewhat soft - why do we risk serious injury for what seems to be no reason (i am not talking about prepped race cars here)

He had the car in SEMA this year and will have it in SEMA this year with a lot of new goodies on it. The seats can be taken out within 20 minutes. The car is meant to look dope when off the track and be functional when on the track.

Yep what Ryan said....

The over all purpose of the car is to be able to track it /show / and drive it. Most people pick one or the other. The car runs in mostly street class time attacks and I put the roll bar in for safety as harness bars are gay and are actually worst for you with harnesses on then the stock seat belts as they keep you up right in a roll over. The car is going to Full-Race soon for their Stage 2 GT set up with a GT30R on it ... should be putting out 400 whp on a mustang on 91 pis gas and close to 450whp on race gas. It may look more like a show car but every part has is purpose on it.

Looks good.

I like the white on white, just dont understand why you would do that to the rear seats. I know its for show but it just seems over done

They do the same thing whether youre on the track or not. If you roll, it protects you. This is why you put a rollbar in the car:

Yes cages on the road can be ver dangerous as your head can hit them in a accident like a baseball bat on a pumpkin. Thats why I only did the roll bar ... no metal bars in the front area of the cabin, and my head is protected by the high back seat from the roll bar.
