looking pretty good. are you going to leave it black? i also noticed you have a harness setup, let us know if you get into any trouble with the local police about it. im planning to get a corbeau harness myself but most likely wont be street legal.

Looks Great Jarid.

However, can you still use the interior trim pieces on the sides?? I am sure its a close fit and may need some trimming-- but they still fit, right??

Yes you can still use the back seat. However with the optional cross braces that I have in there someone could not get in. I havent had my back seat in for a loooong time..Who rides in the back anyways?

Usually people who you dont like given its small and cramped anyways.. =]

With a roll bar unless its a really small person i would say the back is mostly out of the qeustionas a seat. I would really just suggest having two cars if you need to tote chitlins around.

I just use the back seat for storage, but its mostly there for those rare situations where you need to drive 2 or 3 people. I've wanted a rollcage for a while, and it wont be for a while yet, but i like to keep my options open, just-in-case...its ever rare that im a passenger in my own car, never mind in the back seat.

Which on exactly is the crossbar brase preventing people from getting to the back?

was it a lot of work to install it?
I`m thinking of getting a cage, but I guess the shipping would be insanely high to Norway...
