Autopower roll bar/cage

I am looking for installed pictures of the Autopower cage or race roll bar in an 84-96 hardtop vette I want to see where the main hoop sits as I am strongly considering buying one of these kits. thanks

This bar only works in coupes. Don't know of any vert bolt/weld in roll bars that are functional

Autopower has two listed for my car. One is street and the other is race. The race application requires cutting into the rear deck lid. Would the race model be good for an 11.49 at most tracks or possibly lower? Anyone have pictures? I would not mind installing one if I could pick up an extra rear deck lid.

A proper NHRA legal roll bar, with a minimum of 5 points and of the proper tube size is legal in a convertible, in most cases, down to 11.00. At 10.99 a roll CAGE is required.

RACE ON!!!
