Looks like he has a little bit of a camber problem now. ;D The car actually doesn't look that bad, but looks can be decieving.

Shells are cheaper than american hospitals...

Since everyone here is into ghetto why not make one?

Get the rulebook from a racing body and find out what materials they require. Then use a bender to fabricate the hoop and backstays. You can fishmouth the pipes with a holesaw and the plates for the bottom are fairly simple to do. Then weld or get a competent welder to weld it in.

Most of the bolt-in/purchased units I've seen were not worth anything. They frequently divide the main hoop, use a thinner and lighter material and generally build it as a show piece...

It may save your life if and only if there is also a roll hoop. If there is no hoop there is as much or greater chance it will take your life in a rollover.

I am a strong believer of at least a hoop and 2 backstays. This summer when it's warmer out I will have one of these in my GTX.

either mount threw the rear speakers. or the flat top parts in the very rear of the car.
