Placed it, measured it, cut holes, and put carpet back in before final welding. Kinda tough to do perfectly cuz the metal shrinks when welding and can move the bars on you so you have to watch out for that.

Ah Ok..... I picked mine up with the bar installed. I did the paint and interior re-install. I knew I did not see a cut mark on yours. Looks damn good.

Mine was a custom job as was Jason's (Cajundude) above. However Wolfe Race Craft makes a standard design 6 pt roll bar for our cars. I believe Cajundude might be able to get you a custom one as well. PM him and see what he says. Here is the link to Wolfe http://www.wolferacecraft.com/
