I got my 4pt bar in kit form from Jegs. They also offer cages also. All the bars come in pieces and need to be fitted and welded together. After removing the interior and cutting access holes in the floor above the frame, I was able to tack the bars together outside the car and then place it in the car for fitting. My entire 4pt was welded outside the car and then placed in the car for the last time when welding to the frame. I also welded plates to the top of the frame to weld the roll bar to.

I can try and post pics later if interested. :)

They have prices but not pictures. Check recent topics, someone posted pictures of their IOport bar that he just installed

This is who I originally talked to. They have great prices. I ended up going custom.

I've got a 4 point in my car from RJS. It stiffens things up a bit, but the mounting points are close enough together that it's more of a harness bar. Gkull has the real deal :cool:
