Autopower Roll bar

Hi,
I am thinking about getting a Autopower street Rollbar with Diagonal and horizontal bars. I have tried getting a Raceshop, but he says he is overbooked right now, I don't want to wait too long.

Anyone with experience getting these in? Quality, Fit and finish?

Other quality alternatives? Where to get them?

There's the Kirk Racing one for one:

I do beleive there's others, a search should reveal other options, but I'm not up on my FD roll bar suppliers. I only know of them because they do FC's and Miatas (my dad's got a Miata).

I can't speak to FD's either but we got that one for our FC at IO Port Racing Supplies.

ioportracing.com

It took awhile to get because it had to come "Yellow Freight". Too big for UPS or FEDEX. It was all wrapped up and survived the trip (we had ours painted black by Autopower). Fitment was good and we are pleased. We added the camera mount and it works really well. The horizontal bar is great for harness attachment. The fact that the horizontal bar and diagonal bar were both removable was a plus during installation.

Any FD specific experience

Thanks for the input.

I am looking for more specific FD experience with these bars. Anyone with bad experiences with these in the FD (not FC, not Miata)?

I've seen a number of postings about roll bars for FD's here, in the FD section, and maybe in the interior section, do a search and you should come up with many threads, some with pictures.
