... didnt see that till i read this.. Sucks that to cage a del sol you lose the functionality of the rear window. Havent seen a cage in one yet that retained it.

Yes it it notched, but strengthened. Also notice the extra support bars coming off the main hoop.

nice cage! I do need a cage on my sol but only thing that is stopping me from it is because can't get to use all the stok panels and rear window..... not only that, i can't take my top off....
looks good!

Nice roll bar.. I like how it tucks up on top. Are you planning on doing a full cage in the future?

Are those rear bars legal, with the angle, and being 2/3 piece instead of one?

The rear bars that go into the trunk from the top of the main hoop, are all one piece. Also, look at all the other cars that have rear bars bent to go over the rear and into the trunk...they all pass tech. This car will pass tech in my area no sweat. I was already running low 10's with no safety items in the car. I did all this to be a little safer, which I think I acomplished. Its alot more than any other fast street cars have around my parts.

This car will never see a 10 point. I am 6'2 and with my helmet on...there just aint no room. I also like to take the car into town avery now and then, and those bars would be too close for comfort LoL. Del Sols are a tight fit, and i'm glad I got this custom one off roll bar done right to make as much room for me as possible.

Ah, I see now. You bent the rear bars. Looked like it was 2 pieces welded at the joint. Still cant really tell if those rear bars are 30* or more from vertical.

But pretty cool looking cage.
