Default Roll Bar and 5 point for verts

Since I am a vert after I pass up a 13.49 I need a roll bar and a 5 point harness before I can go to the track. Does anybody have any ideas where I can get an NHRA LEGAL roll cage. Obviously the 5 point is no big deal and is easy to find but just a light bar will not do.

Geez are you serious? Do those styling bars have any strength to them a all? Maybe some are made of better/different materials, but the 1 I saw I think I could have collapsed it just pushing my body weight down on it

Not trying to jack, but are the CDC and Saleen Light Bars the same...? I read somehwere that CDC makes Saleen's light bar, but I just don't know if it's to Saleen Specs, or CDC Specs.. or if there is a difference between the two at all.

EDIT: It might just be the angle, or a different bar, but Blownsnakes looks more sqaured off, and Doughboy's looks more smoothed where it turns down. Some just look a little shorter and sqaured off to me, which are the ones I like..

The only differance in the CDC and like Saleen, ROUSH style bars is that on the drivers side on the front of the bar on the leather there is a little square that says either Classic Designs Concepts, Saleen, etc...I am pretty sure they are made the same. It could be the angle of my sig because I just went outside to look at mine and it is rounded like Doughboy. And when it looks shorter that means that people mount them closer to the front of the car. On the back panels of the vert the closer you mount it the shorter it sits because that rear panel curves and starts to go down a little bit.

Ohhhh ok I got ya... I didn't know you could mount it anywhere along there, just thought there was one set location. I saw one 'vert with one that waspretty damlow and I'm really likin' it. And yes, it's the angle, because that one does look more rounded. One more question.. did you guys install yourself, or have a shop do it? Is the install even hard?
