Re: rear pillar bar (ITR.#1446)
yes it does get in the way (sorta).. but if dont plan on any accidents or dont have a torquey car then it should be fine. you can play it safe with foam padding. I could have gone with the cotter pin ends where I can remove the bar.. but I think it would then take the strength out of the whole bar/idea.
I dont like people sitting in the back so this was one of the other reasons i put one in.
we might be making more but only for the DA9s.. and they would be $40-$50... if we can find a DC chassis (shouldnt be a problem) to do a prototype on then they'd sell for the same. of course the quality would be much higher.. we made this one pretty stoned.

Re: rear pillar bar (JGDA9)
sorry im too lazy to go out and check, and its tooo damn cold here in Chicago, but is there an actual spot to mount that in a DC? I dont recall seeing one and if not how would you make them? I can see how just screwing it in would help. Sorry im prolly just being a dumbass . Looks freakin awsome tho 
!
ok now that I look closer at the pics, do you mount it in the seatbelt bracket?

Accidents aren't planned, that's why they are accidents.
Make no mistake about it folks, if someone is in the back of your car with that bar and you get rear ended, serious damage is going to happen to the people in the back. Foam padding will not help one bit. If you think it will, allow me to come over to your house and wrap up a bat and take a few whacks to demonstrate how little 3/4" of foam padding will help when a steel bar impacts the back of your skull.
Choosing to endanger yourself is one thing, but letting people in the back of your car with that bar is another story.
Cheers,
Sean

I agree 100% with Roy, do NOT let anyone ride in the back of the car while that is in place
http://www.emracing.com for a c-pillar bar that has a 'quick release' feature if you insist on carrying rear passengers. It costs more than this one, but less than a funeral.

Can anything happen to the driver or the front passenger in an accident with the bar in place?

what should happen is you sould wrap the bar with roll cage padding just in case... and your theory is correct, except the bar doesn't hit you, you hit the bar... its the same difference if you head butt someone or someone head butts you - one hurts, the other only hurts a lil bit.

Re: (DIY)
and that quick release is what makes it non functional.
when i made this bar I didnt want any weak points.
G3 owners.. can someone measure the distance between the two seat belt bolts in the rear. thanks.

I find myself questioning the function of these bars. Chassis rigidity is good, but that particular spot in the chassis isn't critical in any way. I think the bars are just a marketing attempt.
