Hot Line 4pt Roll bar installed.

So this was my weekend project. Picked it up from Hot Line on Friday night. And installed on Saturday. The bar fits perfectly. I had no hassle installing it. Only issue I found was the seat belt bracket holes, needed to be elongated to get them to line up. But other than that, I was very pleased with the craftsmanship of the roll bar. If anyone is looking for a roll bar for a Vert, I recommend heading down to Hot Line. The top is still functional as well.


Test fit. Its gonna look Awesome!

any plans to paint it? I think that'd clean it up a considerable amount. It looks like it's got a good fit.

I'm glad it worked out perfect for you. I had actually made it for another member that was looking for another design that wouldn't have allowed the top to function properly. Although I told him otherwise.. Anyway, I'm glad you get to enjoy it, although I hope you never have to "use" it! haha

Anyone looking for a bolt in roll bar for either a vert or coupe let us know.. we make to order.

We have a basic 4 pt in stock as well as just a main hoop, both tie into the factory seat belt holes as well.

thanks again!

dk, that bar is $550, i have another one without the diagonal/harness bar for $400 in stock at the shop. I could add the diagonal/harness bar and removable door bars as well if you needed it to pass tech for tandem up at willow... here's some door bars we just did on a bolt in cage... turned out real nice!

I forget her name, but someone asked me about how re-installed the interior for a cleaner look. Here are some pictures. Hope they help get the idea across.Made some marks where I eyeballed it to be, and cut a little over 2 inches in. Made it easier since I had already cut it for access to the suspension.

Cut it just behind the Seat belt, and down the front. And to install it used Zip Ties to make it one piece again. I don't notice any rattles, but the car is pretty stiff so I probably wouldn't.

Also You can cut the seat Belt mount cover to keep it on there. Just cut the entire side off. I tried to notch the driver side, and ended up cracking the whole thing.
