Price depends on what you get. If you're going to powercoat it, ask them to send your bar UNPAINTED. It's going to chip no matter what you do, trust me. Unless you don't drive the car, you'll chip it here and there. Who cares? Pad that phuker!

 

its says it $260 for the erw material and $302 for the dom whats the diffrence is one painted the other not, then $49 for the harness bar and $49 for the removable cross brace, do these prices sound like there good or can i find better else where
and does anyboddy no an estmate on shipping


thanks

 

Ken at ioport is GREAT to deal with. I'll be going back to him when I purchase the cage for the hybrid.

Both the ERW and DOM will most likely come painted. However, you can request them to be shipped unpainted. As previously mentioned, the cage will become scratched during shipment. The advantage to the DOM bar is that while being smaller in diameter, it's actually stronger than the ERW...

Darth,
do you have an autopower thats a full cage or what? I thought i saw pics of your car with bars going by the front seats and along the A pillar.

 

garth did have a 6-point AP bar, but recently sold it

 

rob-

i did have an autopower 6-point, but sold it to convert the R back to stock. i'm planning on putting another 6-point into the hybrid once it's ready...

 

R back to stock? ah, i guess you're doing the hatch track mule thing then right?

 

They are very good prices, and they help/customer service you get from I/O Port is top notch! There is no price difference between painted and unpainted. The difference between DOM and ERW is simply diameter/thickness. Finished product will weigh the same and be equally strong. The *real* DOM vs. ERW pricing changes at Autopower's discression, so call Ken and find out the latest. Shipping cost me in the $50 range for the full race bar with both removable options. Expect to wait 4-6 weeks, depending.

 

Last I heard, they were no longer doing bars out of anything but ERW.

Could be...when I ordered mine, there was a fat sur-charge on DOM for anything other than the 6pt cage. So they won't even do it anymore? No biggie I guess, ERW is just fine.

 

i ordered from KIRK RACING...they had it too me in under TEN (10) days....yes 10 days from the time i ordered to the time it was bolted in my car!!

talk to julie tell her CHAD from virginia sent you!!

 

Does anyone have a pic of the 4-pt bar with the two cross braces removed? I know it would be a pain to use the rear seats for passangers, but is it possible? Has anyone tried to get in and out of the back seat like this? I would probably leave the cross braces out except for race weekends.

Thanks,

I wouldn't put anyone in the back seat, with or without the cross brace and harness bar. There was a thread on this earlier where I posted some pics, but I can't find it.
