Ok so everyone wants to know what i did differently to make an autopower cage fit....First step, contact aAutopower and order the main hoop, diagonal and harness bar seperatly, ask for the to to be cut 1/2 inch shorter and 1 inch narrower. It will mount behind the door to the floor

Second order extra piping, about 20ft in 4 ft sections

Third weld them ****s together (main hoop) then bolt to the floor

Fourth amke an x-brace that mounts from the top of the main hoop and down to the floor, kinda above the floor like 3 inches where it curves

5th cut out part of the ugly metal back section and weld your two main support bars to the shock tower

6th...you are done. you will have to weld it togeter in your car hoepfully top down

Total cost with me welding it $270 bucks

here are my pics, i will get more later. i know my car is a mess. These pics are not recent, however when i get pictures of my completed cage i will show yuou. these were progress pictures.

So this is a 3point roll bar? Any problems w/ tracking the car like this?

Does the main hoop have to be cut 1/2" shorter? I want mine as high as possible. How much clearance left is there w/ the top up?

***EDIT: I guess it's a 4point in a diff way, 3 front mount points, and 1 rear...?

When you say shorter in your first post are you talking height(floor to top) or width(door to door) or both. Sorry I'm hoping to do this myself within a month. Thank you
