Yep and probably you will end up with a autopower one.
But if you need a real stuff look up customcages website in UK.

im almost 100 % sure someone have it.
either way i think worth a little extra to pay for these.

http://www.customcages.co.uk/Rollcag...type=Bolt%20in

you may talk to them and tell them what you need , they will send you a stellar product!
they can customize it for you needs , examples:

Well worth the money.

That's in UK, shipping would probably not be cheap. Im sure there are local shops that can do custom cage, but it all comes down to the price. My friend wants to get a harness bar but I told him to spend a little more and get a bolt in 4 point. But it seems that no one is making bolt in roll bar for evo x yet. Custom bar is out of price range at the moment.

I have a custom 6 point weld in my rs.

actualy it is a proven deal. Many guys order stuff from them . Get's here no problem and the shipping also not that big of a deal. But the quality and material is very good so as a fitting.
Im sure if you take out the blueprint shop can do it, but is saw those called good enough try's...

Put it this way if the shop is not experienced with cages , there 100% certain you will regret the deal. If the shop has experience in cages but they never did evo cages , and this might sounds weird but true at least you will have head ache's.
But sure it will be cheaper to get the cage form the locals , but the whole process ... im not sure about that.
Only one place can do it for you one shot, so you never have to touch it anymore, and nicely done. No one comes even close to them when it comes down to serious racing and they are not expensive. Luckily it is in the tri state area

Harness bars are unsafe.ricers put them because it looks cool.a racing harness is not safe or legal or the street.putting a harness bar or Even worst a bolt on roll bar just so u can put a harness is ridiculos.I wouldn't put any tubing inside if I'm going to drive it on the street.well if it had a roll cage and if I had helmets for passengers and harnesses for all then maybe I would.

That don't look so bad Just kidding!! I'm the one looking for a 4Pt NASA Approved Cage. That whole harness bar idea is obviously not the best idea from looking at that picture and I don't have enough time or $2500-$3000 for a Custom Cage before April.

I need a 5-6 PT harness for seat stability because my current setup consists of a CG Lock which just doesn't quite provide a stable drive.

Any suggestions i'm all ears!!

as i said for a standard interior the best stability and results safely will come from the Shroth belt i posted above.
G locks suck ball big time. I had two of them i still wondering ... what was i thinking really?? LOL
