I know that rears seats are about the same height as the rear seat delete kit, so I was hoping that if your kit folds down, then it is likely the rear seats will fold down too.


You have to unbolt the bottom of the rear seat back and pull it out and put it back in to get it into the down position with the roll bar in.

I leave my rear seat back in the down position since it’s too much of a pain to back up.

do you know if you are able to bolt in the main hoop? Or will the main hoop require welding for mounting?

This particular part number listed in the thread title is weld mounted. I believe there is a bolt in option but it wouldn't be easy (or safe) to bolt this one in.

You have to weld in the main hoop.

Nice Documentation and Pictures

I have a 2017 Toyota 86, and since the AutoPower roll bar is for earlier years, it required shortening the two rear braces by a few inches as the inner fender wells are taller in the newer models. I also bought the removable diagonal brace and shoulder harness bar option. It costs a bit more, but makes the rear view mirror issue better for regular driving. Greatly appreciate the time and effort you put into the documentation. Am taking my time in modifying the two plastic interior rear side panels to get the best fit. The abysmal installation paperwork from the factory is many recopies beyond useful for determining the proper trim lines. It appears that cutting along the "seam" lines where the flat portion of the panels blend into the raised portions offer the best opportunities for making the separation cuts, then making additional seams along the center lines of the tubing relief holes that will surround the tubing. Will probably use aluminum backing plates with Nutserts for fastening the split panels together for the proper flush fit. I have a 3D printer and Fusion 360 CAD/CAM if any filler plates are necessary. Having built and raced a number of road racing cars over the years, and knowing the rules for a number of race organizations. The weld-in portion of the main hoop sill plates (feet) typically require full welds around the entire perimeter of those to be fully welded to the chassis. I don't know your intended use of your FRS, and whether it is intended for anything more than parking lot autocrosses, but for road racing and other high speed events most sanctioning organizations won't allow partial welds like what you've done. I cut filler pieces of 1/8" mild steel plate to close all the gaps between the main hoop feet an the chassis tub stiffening stamping areas so there are no air gaps. Best regards, Barry

Thank Barry. Can anyone else confirm the fitment issues on the 2017's? I'm hoping to get this installed in my 2017 in the next few weeks. Thanks!

I bought this for my 2013 BRZ.

They have definitely changed the design since the diagonal bar is not welded to the seat belt bar which is now set a little father back.

The main hoop definitely interferes with the headliner which has to be removed in order to even get it in the car.

The rear down bars seem almost impossible to get in place once the main hoop is in the car. I tried to do the initial installation before painting it but I could only get one of those bars in place. I decided to go ahead and get it painted because I don't have to want to do this more than once.

I guess the bright side is the snug fit will be safer?
