Nice! Thanks!
I was debating whether or not to get the Seibons, but they were more than double the price! ($1600 versus $700)! And I remembered you posting that fitment with yours was spot-on... so I went with the B Magic.

Still don't know what to do about the glass though, specially if no one has had experience yet. Just might bite the bullet and go with the lexan (I plan on leaving my AC in...)

Rickdogg, how much does your car weight with all that stuff stripped out? How bad is the interior noise?

The roll bar is pre-made by Kirk Racing. I opted for the X-brace option which will run you around $400 total + shipping. I recommend that if you do order one, try to find someone in your area that is willing to buy one with you to save on shipping costs because they can ship up to 2 cages for the same price.
Will check out the link and thanks for the info

I sat on a lot of racing seats (top of the line model) before I decided to go with Recaro. My opinion I think Recaro > Bride > Sparco > MOMO > Corbeau.

Just click on the jtuned link on my signature for more pics.

For everyone's questions about weight of the vehicle and fitment of the doors, please refer to earlier posts in the thread that should answer your questions

Let me know how they fit once they come in. Also, Seibons doors look much heavier and it looked like hand layed fiberglass to me which is heavier

Interior noise is definitely loud. I also removed most of the sound deadening tar as well which added to it. My brother was rolling with me a few months back and he said the funniest thing about how loud it was inside the car. "It feels like I am riding on rims and tires only!"

Yeah, I know. The cage builder and I have screwed up schedules that don't mix. Talk to Howard for me to see if he can hook it up without anally abusing me
