Default 6 point roll cage

I have a 2012 and Was looking for some pics and maybe a little advice on installation tips on
A roll cage. I just ordered RPM's 6 pointer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will post some pics when finished. I was planing on recording the install as well.
I recently helped my brother with his camaro convertible install and it sucked!

Do you have a link to the RPM bar? I had one custom fabricated for my 2006, install wasn't bad. I took it out when I sold the car to use with the 2013 and my fabricator is going to do some work on it to fit around the CDC light bar. Mine didn't go through the panels. I had swing out/removable door bars.

www.trackspecmotorsports.com is where I ordered the bar. They work very closely with RPM, Who also has a website,with these bars. They are a bit $$$ but they do come complete.there price is with paint,hardware and IS welded. You just have to bolt it in. And they ar NHRA CERTIFIED.
I haven't found another 6 pointer that included all this with a bolt in.
I like the stripe continuing on your bar, nice touch. Thanks for the pics. The RPM bar does require you to cut the rear panel.
Keep us updated on your bar. I would like to see finished product

I also did the rear seat delete. they are never used and with the roll bar they do not recommend people sitting in the back seats due to possible injuries hitting the bar

I'm using a 6-point bolt-in from Wolfe racecraft in my '05. I recommend low-slung removable 'swingouts', as I remove mine whenever I'm not racing to make entry/exit into the front seats easier.

Cage is being dropped off this Thursday! Looks like I will be busy this weekend!
Once I figure out how to put up a video I will post install.

Awesome, congrats. I want one (and according to the track I run at, need one) I have been looking at the RPM's as well. Would love to get a chrome moly with the blue carbon fiber finish. Anyway, from the research I have done, probably the biggest install pain will be the foot posts for the door bars.
