Get one custom made at a decent shop. Check out a shop that does 4x4 trucks and stuff or a small car shop. They usually can do it pretty well and for a fair price.

The Autopower bar is not actually SCCA legal I do beleive, but they make it after you order it, so you can have them change it for you. The telescoping tubes (the removable rear supports) need to be 8 inches long with 2 bolts each to meet SCCA Solo II rules IIRC. Kirk Racing also makes an FC rollbar.

dont get it from corksport get it from http://www.ioportracing.com/. much better company and very very friendly. They keep you up to date on the progress and even got mine in at a earlier time because i told them i had to meet a deadline for a track day. These people care about thier customers. get it from IOportracing.
I love the rollbar. get it with removable cross arms and harness bar and you'll be able to access your bins. I put mine in bymyself a little over 2 hours.

Hey Black91N/A, do you have the Autopwoer rollar or have you seen one in person? I have one with the removable crossbar and harness bar. I am sure it stronger without removable bars but, it is still plenty strong. The fit is better than the CP Racing rollbar from what I see in DSMRX7's picture.

Alas, I have no rollbar. One of these days when I've finished with suspension, brake, chassis and engine mods along with some track wheels and tires I'd like to get one, some sport or racing seats and harnesses, but that won't be for a while yet. If I get to start doing more than a track day every once in a while I might get one for the extra safety. I've looked around at what's available and I like the Autopower one best, besides a custom one of course. I'm a tall guy so the head clearance and seat travel would be very important to me.

I got corbeau seats with custom rails and have autopower roll bar with the removable bars. I fit perfect in it and im 6'2". I am getting racing seat and mount it to the floor and it will gve me probably another 2-4inches of head room. the auto power roll bar the bar that goes around has a bend it it and it bends back and doesnt get in the way of the driver seat at all meaning you have the same space you would withot the roll bar.
PS i can only say bad things about CPracing. to start and finish they lie to you.
PSS. its a regular s5, t2 wing but came stock on my car because its a GTUs.
