Ok fellas I just send my oem seats and doors to be completely redone. Instead of the off red nonsense I'm changing it to real red and black with a couple tricks up my sleeve. I'm also installing a auto power weld in roll bar. We started last night and I only snapped a couple pics but I'm starting this to hopefully show our progress.Attachment 46873. Bar sit to low so we had to fab up some boxes to get it higher. Attachment 46874. Attachment 46875. Attachment 46876Attachment 46877

Nice. How much did it cost you if you don't mind me asking? Coz I know you can go for the Amuse titanium to replace the aluminum OEM and be more functional for $1000. Btw, are you gonna paint it too? It would look sick with either red or quartz.

I think the autopower weld in kit retails for around 500.

Nice job so far!

This doesnt change the strut bar. This is a roll bar and harness bar.


This car sees the track from time to time so I wanted that level of safety that way my passenger and I could feel a little more comfortable in the car. This car also will have 4 point harnesses so it will hold me to the seat. This car will also see show time too. Im a big believer that you can get functionality and looks from the same car. This car is my daily driver and it goes 50 miles round trip to work. It has full suspension, twin turbo, and now safety parts. I want to feel confident if a problem ever arises I will be fine. Even with all this this car is very compfortable.

Yes the bars will be painted the same red as my headlights and brake calipers.

Thanks man i was biting my nails with all the weld splatter. We put wet towels everywhere especially over my amps and subwoofer but all is good so far.

Pretty disappointing how low the AutoPower bar sits and that you had to make modifications to correct that. The least they could have done was make it a few inches longer and then allowed people to cut it if they needed.

Yea I know. Auto power has a history of things fitting like crap so I already knew it wasn't going to be a easy install. But it's actually going together pretty good because we had some metal plate laying around from a project a week ago and we just welded it up together and it's actually better then the stuff they gave us.
