My guess would be that the "6-point" would be/include additional door bars as in a drag "cage", and not a full road race cage.

RJ. would these bars be acceptable wrt recent NASA safety regs (alloy & diameter wise)?

They should meet all rules and regs..

6 point includes the door bars...and optionally crossing rear bars w/ bar connecting the 2...Also offered are full cages w/ optional halo, prices TBA

.RJ - I'm sorry when I say bolt-in/weld in i mean the type of kit...the weld in kit would have the 2 rear bars welded to the main hoop...I didn't mean installed...but we can do that as well --- but shipping shouldn't be too much if anyone is interested

Oh side note, a helmet bar would be included w/ both 4 and 6 we just didn't have any of the metal laying around

Those welds are great, but the 6-point you show in that picture wouldn't hack it for a racecar. If that's just supposed to be a rollbar and your "full" cage includes the extra crap necessary for a cage, great.

actually that 6 point hacks it just fine for a racecar....a drag race car...I only refer to them as "cages" (and notice the quotes) b/c most people do and it makes it easy for searchability...of course we offer full car cages, but most people who use their cars as mainly daily drives the simple "cages"/rollbars we offer are a perfect fit. We understand others are more serious and need real cages and we facilitate them as well

"Why not tie the rear tubes together?"

There will be an option for the rear bars to cross and goto the towers and have a connecting bar...as well as a connecting bar to just connect the bars as they are...

Want2race and hunter - thank you, we make sure everything done at the shop is welded to the highest standard

btw, you need to thread the harness straps back under one more time in the buckle as it heads back.

Nice looking welds and a great price. Would be nice to raise the top of the main hoop a little higher, pressing into the headliner, for an increased margin of rollover safety.

The welds look really good. But after you paint it, they would all be covered.

What benefit has it over the Autopower cage?

The benefit over autopower is simply quality, which basically translates into every other aspect of the setup. Fitment. materials, welds etc.

Here you are seeing a roll bar made with utmost attention to detail.

Eg Civics and DC2/4 Integras, CRX, MR2 and we have harness bars for WRXs

We're also developing some nice front and rear bars for the EG/DC chassis as well as traction bars

That's a very vague statement there. I've never seen or heard of Autopower bars misfit, materials too weak, or have welds broken.

More logical benefits would be weight, price and customer service.

I could always tape over the welds
