Default 6 point cage wanted

I am going to do the rollcage and race seat setup in my 05 but I am having trouble finding a few good pics of good setups to go with. My car is a street driven car but I am looking at doing some autocross next year and I don't care if the back seat is taken out. A nice 5 point harness on a high/medium high seat is preferred also. Always wanted to do the race/cage setup in a car so now over the winter thats what I want to do. Any help with suggestions is greatly appreciated. Boogie

The Wolfe Racecraft roll bar is a nice setup. Here are some pics and they are having a 20% off Christmas sale right now.

I'm not a huge fan of any of the pre-fab kits. I like a cage that really hugs the interior of the car, leaving the most available space.

I am looking for something I can install myself. I am going to eliminate the rear seats and change the fronts. Thanks for the pics flyr..very helpful. Looking for more. Anybody else have a nice seat-rollcage combo that I can copy.

The 3 best mail order bars, that you can install yourself, are.

1. The one from Wolfe that I showed.

2. The RPM bar http://rpmrollbar.com/rollbars.html which I think is a very nice bar but also very expensive.

3. The one from MM http://www.maximummotorsports.com/st...th=121_126_414 which is a nice bar but I don't like the way the interior has to be cut up for the install.

SCCA does not require a roll cage/bar for autocross. If you're after chassis stiffening, you can install a rear brace (like the Boss 302 seat delete kit), and you can add racing harnesses by installing a harness bar that traverses the rear seat area just behind the front seats.

Keep in mind that if you DO install a roll cage, it has to meet/exceed SCCA specs. If you DON'T install a roll cage, they let you race. Weird, huh...

Thanks for the info. I plan on starting on this project after Christmas so it will be a nice winter project. Ready for the spring with a whole new look.
