After many weeks of waiting, Piper Motorsports was finally able to fit Commasense and I in for our custom 4 point roll bars. Mitch Piper is considered one of the top cage builders in the country, and is very well known in the road racing community. Tubing was constructed of DOM tubing, and the TIG welds are extremely clean. Piper Motorsports definitely exceeded my expectations, and I don't regret for one bit cancelling my Kirk Racing roll bar order.

First shot of mine:

How much did it cost and is there a web site?

 

James' car (Commasense) went with straight rear bars for more storage space:

It was 12 hours labor, plus the cost for materials (steel prices have been ocsillating wildly recently). I had them install my harnesses, which took over an hour to get the eye bolts welded into place. They don't have a website that I know of yet.

I'd like to thank Jon @ Piper for facilitating the entire process. Hopefully he'll chime in with some photos of them making the boxes for the hoops and other stuff.

Another comment is the fitting is VERY tight. About 3mm clearance between the roll hoop and the pillar, and the roll hoop is flush with the roof.

 

where are they.. I'll send my car there...after I get it back from getting painted.

 

They're currently in Manassas, VA. I'll have Tywrap post here (Jon @ Piper)...

 

Was there is big difference on how the car handled after this install?

 

They look great, John! Looking forward to seeing them at Mid-Ohio......in a week!!!!

Hoping you never need them!

 

I noticed the car comes infront of your glove box. Does this make it unaccessable?

 

No, the glove box cover lifts straight up rather than folding out.

 

Glad you guys like the roll bar. James just picked his up. I'll try to post the pics of the base plates and other stuff ASAP.

That's awesome!

John, take some pics with it all cleaned up and the seats back?

 

There will be plenty of photos next week as the roll bar and harnesses on both cars will be put to a 3 day test at Mid-Ohio.

 

Very nice!! Looking forward to some more pictures.

 

How is it mounted to the frame, is it welded or bolted in? If you wanted to do any work on the car and had remove the plastic panels, can you work around the roll cage or are you stuck with what is in there? Is it possible to unbolt it and remove it from the car? Inquiring minds would like to know. Thanks.
