Default Roll Bar Pics

Im gona get a bar installed by Piper Motorsports in VA. Heres a pic of the last install they did. What do you guys think? The bar looks like it will work great, im just a little worried about the drivers side seat travel. Im 6 foot an need a little more room then where the seat is at.
What do you guys think? any changes I should tell them to make?

I suspect that is more than $1000 installed. For that kind of money, I think I would want to sit in one of the other S2000's that's had it done. I did that before installing the Elda; then, you know.

why do people bend the diagonals!?! I'm constantly amazed at what people build as roll protection.

that bar is going to significantly reduce rear seat travel. They should build you one that sits on the ledge behind the seat, but I wouldn't use who ever built that bar.

I guess they bend them to give more interior space?

Fitting a cage and keeping the interior clean and the top in place seems to be quite a challenge.

yeah but if you look at say the elda design you move the diags down so they can stay straight. better to keep the triangle and not mount as high than to bend them.

Where do you hook up your straps on it?

That's what I wondered, but the last picture seems to show a horizontal bar running about the height of the bottom of the glove box, going through the glove box. Seems less than ideal to me.

That is way to low to be very safe.
