Frank, I don't think I'd call that a roll 'bar'. That's definitely a cage, even if it's only a half cage! ;)
It's lookin good!
Have you decided if you're going to have the zx-R graphics painted or re-done in vinyl?

Well I am thinking of getting the decals done in the near future, however they are not top priority at this point.
As you can see the color is off as well it is grigori alloy a Ferrari color, witch in bright sun is bluer than the 'silver mist' that came OEM from Datsun( out of the sun it is more Grey )
As it is not a mint car with OEM paint, and im not planning on trailer queening it .. im just pumped i have the wing! ..
However i would not mind the decals at some point in the near future for 'nostalgic' reasons..
as for half a cage .. LOL well other half i have to get bend first !
BTW i also installed euro bumpers .. so that diverts from the OEM model too

Loks good Frank, not bad for 500.00 USD LOL. The paint and cage looks good, how are you going to get a head liner in it? or are you going to leave it out?

Hey Frank, looks great - any close ups of how the cage is attached to the car?

A:
that must add about 100 lbs to the car.....
A:
Nah not 100 lbs however there is no cutting corners here, this is the size tubing etc that the FIA wants to see, they are mounted on 3mm thick 4'/4' plates
All the piping for the full cage comes to exactly 77.16LBS, and this is only half sofar
However safety first i guess, and well ill run one pound more boost ;)
