You can also get a roll bar from Kirk Racing, I think they're closer, so the not insignificant shipping costs would be lower.
If you're talking about a full cage, then think twice, having a cage on the street is a bad idea.
The Corksport "cages" are a joke, they are absolutely the worst, potentially most dangerous "cages" I've ever seen. It makes me sick to think that people buy them. Seriously.

noo only for the added saftey incase of an rollover but also becase think the look pretty cool, lol and especially since i want to start auto x and learn to drift i feel it's a good investment
Kirk racing do they have a website? i guess ill do a search. thanks

The Autopower bars are a tight fit if you have a sunroof, but they are good quality. Also, if you have the passive seat belts, you will need to temporarly remove one of the seat belt motors to work the bar into place. Not a fun thing to do, but doable. Reinstalling the motor cover after the bar is installed is real tricky. I'm about to do that for the second time and I'm not looking forward to it.

do you still retain all the original trim pannels, I want one to fit nice as well as not interfear with any original equipment,
do you have any pics of yours?

They lack diagonal bracing, lots of clevis type bolt in bars that won't really stiffen or reinforce anything, the front downtubes have S bends in them, to hug the A pilliars and go around the dash meaning that they'll be prone to collapsing in on themselves in a rollover, potentially spearing the driver. Many lack key things like door bars and a dash bar, making it more or less useless head trauma potential. Not good stuff. They're also of unknown tube diameters and thicknesses. There's no way in hell that any sanctionning body would approve of their use where cages are required. They also count their "points" differently than the rest of the world, counting connections between tubes, not connection points to the chassis.

Also, with the harness bar, the storage box covers do not fully open. They open about 5"-6" at most. And with the seats all the way back, they do not fully recline. Other than that, the bar does not interfer with anything else.
Here are some pics that will illustrate my previous comments.

^^^ hey man thanks..
The bar looks like a nice tight fit.. and BTW i must say your interior looks pretty mint looks real good.
Thanks for your time and info, I appreciate it.
And autopower supplies all the hardware needed for the install right? I would just have to drill the holes of course

All parts needed to install the bar are included. BTW, you can get the bar with removable diagonal and harness bars. That's what I got and it makes it much easier to muscle it around when installing.

I have the autopower bar and got away with taking both belt motor covers off instead of moving a motor. My passenger side bin has a battery box instead of a bin, but the driver side box isn't screwed down, so when I go to the track I just lift the whole bin out diagonally and back and take it out of the car completely.

At first I had 2 subs in the bins, then a battery and a sub, now just the battery, so I really don't notice it untill I need to do something with the battery, since I'm not used to putting anything in there anyway.

That configuration won't interfer with the storage box lids, but I think it may limit the seat reclining. That's the bar I have except that mine has the harness bar and diagonal bar--both of which are removable. If you think you may ever want to do some track driving, I would suggest that you get the bar with the removable components so that you can easily install harnesses later on. In the meantime, you can just leave the optional bars off.
