No cutting interior, other than taking a little section of the back seat brace out of the seat so it can contour around the back supports. Other than that, 3 holes per post.

Looks a LOT better with the seats, and holy damn, talk about a LOUD Walbro fuel pump with the seats out. Annoying enough where I wouldn't want to drive it.

You can put the seats ALL the way back and still have 4-6" of clearance from the back of the harness bar, so it doesn't restrict the seat position at ALL.

i just ordered that same cage! looks good..

questions:
how good does the autopower paint finish look? dull or glossy? any nicks or scratches from shipping? will i need to have it painted? etc..
did it stiffen the ride up at all?
you say it doesn't restrict seat postion?
how much does it roughly weigh?
how's the fittment? any modifcations nessesary?

sorry, thanks....

Paint from Autopower, sucks. It's just a cheap glossy black that gets VERY nicked up. I painted it with a texture spray paint. Very easy.

Stiffen... HELL YA! I can notice a DRAMATIC difference in the flex of the car... just feels like a TANK now.

You can move the drivers seat ALL the way back without even coming close to the harness bar.

Weighs about 60-80lbs.

No modifications necessary, just drilling some holes. I did get some new 10.9 hardened steel bolts instead of whatever they included.
