Post a pic of your installed Autopower roll bar
 
I have done some searching for Autopower roll bar pics on here and google but it seems most people are getting there roll bars/cages elsewhere. If you have an Autopower roll bar I would greatly appreciate some install pics for my decision making. If you have a comparable solution to the Autopower cage, that would also be appreciated.

We've got one in the pipeline. This thread shows some of the design & renders, and we should be starting work on the prototype this weekend or early next week.

The Autopower requires welding a plate for the front mounts. That is a key difference.

Mine's slightly modified. Added the rear X with gussets and welded the legs but it's essentially an Autopower cage.

I have the full Autopower cage. The main hoop is welded to the footer at the leading edge of the rear seat / gas tank. The door bars are also welded in.

ok how can the bar be ahead of the b pillar on the last pick and behind it on the first pic?..... smh
The cage is not installed
I do like the design but fitment cant be determined

I think this may be a trick of perspective. But I will let Apex-Apex clarify things further. It looks fine to me but maybe it was just set in the car for positioning?

Perspective. Look at the driver side pillar on the bottom picture.

How is rear visibility with the rear X? We thought about adding that to our design (still might) but we were worried it would make it too hard to see out the back, due to how high the rear attachment points are.

I have an Autopower Roll Cage installed.
What pictures do you want?
