-the review mirror problem/inconvenience can be solved by getting a convex rearview mirror

-I installed mine with the headliner and it fits literally perfectly with about a millimeter or two from the headliner in the corners of the main hoop

- even without the harness bar the stock seats can't recline all the way back because the outside shoulder bolster things hit into the main hoop (isn't too much of a problem because you can still have the seat slid all the way back and recline it to a spot that wouldn't be too comfortable for driving)

- plastic inner panels can also be installed but need to be cut to have the legs of the cage go through them


to OP: the cage is not painted it is just coated with something to keep it from getting surface rust in shipping. it is meant to be painted once you receive it (not worth powdercoating it is waaay to expensive, I just got it painted by a normal body shop)


If anyone would be interested in pictures let me know and I'll throw some up
I edited the first post to reflect your findings as well. Thanks for the input.

Also, go ahead and add some pics. I think the more we have the better off potential autopower customers will be.
