The blue is Cusco C-Piller Side bars.
They mount to the pillar bolt at the top and the floor seat belt bolt. Then one connect to the front bolt of the seat bolt and then another to the floor

Once upton a time I had CTR carpet but I sold it because I didn't like how it looked to much

vega, does that **** use a set screw? if so ou need to adjust it, it clearly doesnt sit level on the shift lever. YOu also need to wire a horn button. Just nitpicking btw...

I loosened the shift **** for the sake of the picture. Normally the Mugen insignia faces forward.
As for the horn...
who needs a horn. I either hit them or just roll down my window and gave them the finger

It'll do more damage than good, if you ask me. I don't want anything bolted together directly over my head. "Why that's a lovely cage of death you have there!"

Cam phone pics are better than no pics.

This has to be one of the best single stage jobs I've seen. I'd like to haul my piece half way across the country and have to do the work on it. Much props from me, it's beggin' for a before/after thread.

Thanks for the props everyone! Yeah I think on any paint job you have to do some wet sanding to get the orange peel and imperfections out of the paint. If you guys have ever watched American Hot Rod they have a $100k spray booth and the best equipment money can buy but they still wet sand and polish the **** out of those paint jobs. I think its just the way paint works. However the cleaner the paint job out the less you have to sand out.

Keep in mind too that I only did a quick sand and polish on the paint. I have much more sanding and polishing to do. Basically I work panel by panel until I get each one within an inch of perfection. I also have to fix a few spots that I screwed up on on and I have some dings I have to get removed. This is what happens from a rush job.

For those of you that have cool neighbors and a garage to work in it is very possible to do this kind of stuff on your own. I spent $100 on my spray guns, another $100 on supplies, $500 in paint, $100 misc. stuff. Basically if you have a decent air compressor and the motivation anyone can do this stuff themselves! There is a bit of a learning curve but once you get past it it only gets easier!

For anyone with the desire to learn I am more than happy to give pointers!
