Dude, that's pretty damn cool bro, did you make a jig for the rear or just do it one piece at a time? How much were all the materials used? Maybe you could make a few =P

Hey that looks great.
I like that the rear one has 3 points of contact. Can you post a pic of where it mounts at the base? |

thanks for the reply's guys! yea i saved alot of money making these apose to buying them.....no jig was used just measured and used my fiting skills as i am a welder by trade....i was thinking about making more but we will see the metal i used was some kind of alloy and i unno were i could find more of it.....the rear bar is super super light! as for where it connects i built a bracket and it bolts where the back seats do.. the front one is just a modded stock gt one...im really happy with how they look specially the back one.....didn't cost me much to make as it was stuff i had laying around my shop...i was just bored and knew i could build them easy and i did.....keep and eye out im gonna see what else i can build for the car...i like building stuff appose to buying it lol...get more enjoyment outa it
