I don't have the final bill yet (since the car is still in the shop), but the quoted price was $1500 + $200 for powder coating of the roll bar. Yes it is more expensive than an auto power solution but this way I will have a real welded in bar that I know is built and installed right. After seeing some pictures online of how roll protection can punch through the floor pan when not installed correctly, I came to the conclusion that this is probably the single most important upgrade to the car. I don't have the experience to tell if a plate is in the correct place to really distribute the force of a rollover into the strong parts of the car's chassis or to even really be sure that welds are of top quality. Because of this I went with what seems to be the most professional option available.
It doesn't take much math to realize that my good health is worth a hell of alot more than the cost of the safety gear.
