Installing the Rockstar Roll bar and bulkhead is not that difficult. Like others have mentioned, cutting the plastics and test fitting, repeat, repeat is what takes forever. Definitely need a nice dremel and angle grinder for some bigger pieces. Big shout out to Fasting as I followed his DIY. I only put the aftermarket bulkhead bar in because if I ever decide to get more serious about racing, I could add a harness. Probably would have been easier if the stock bulkhead was in place.

Looks badass!!! Want to do this myself someday.

 

You did a good job of getting most plastics back in. I wish I could have but got lazy

 

I dig it! How much was it?how do you like it? And did you loose any creature comforts

 

Rockstar had the rollbar and bulkhead on a group buy which came to about 820 bucks shipped. I like it now...once it's all said and done. But trimming those pieces takes forever.

You do lose a couple clicks on recline once the seat is the furthest back. I'm 6'2'' so it kinda sucks as I have had to move my seat up, but really not that bad. I know Fasting has used the rollbar with 2 bends in it which allows the seat to recline just a little more. Most bars have 4 bends in the main hoop like mine. Very subtle, but there are 4.

 

what made you go with this brand as oppose to the hard dog one?

 

Looks good. I just put my single diagonal in last week but left everything out including the top lol

 

It was cheaper. They are the exact same product. Rockstar says their bolts are a little stronger and something else minor, but basically it's exactly the same.

 

You should wrap the seat belt around the outside of the bar. Mine pinches it and it prevents it from retracting when I'm leaning back driving.

 

I had that issue too. I was just thinking if went around the outside it would eventually rub off the powder coat. That's why I went the inside route. I just bought some Backyard special lowering rails. Hopefully that helps with having to have the seat a little more forward than normal.
