Autopower Industries makes them for 94+ verts, among other vehicles. I'm pretty sure they are out of San Diego.

I checked out their site, and it looks like they are more function over form. Does anyone know of a good rollbar that also looks good for a non-tracked daily driver?

May not look as bad if you add covers/padding to the bars. AP sells them, some with color options, but you can also get similar pipe insulation at Lowes or Home Depot.

The non-functional ones are the best looking ones you're going to be able to get. The function ones, either part of a roll cage or just the back brace of the roll cage, look out of place. With a "real" roll bar, you'll be able to put the top up without having to take off the bar when you raise the top. I think you have to remove the style bar when you raise the top.

I don't think that you have to remove the light bar when you put the top up. All the pictures that i've seen have the light bar being bolted on. I've also heard people 'complain' about the third (or fourth) brake light on the bar turning on when the top is up.

Thanks for the replies!

Nope, the top fits right over it.

That looks too good to be a roll bar... Must be a light bar

Did you do a brakelight swap? Verticle tailights were only on 96+ years...

*edit - If only i would read your signature.....

LOL

All the visual mods were done before I bought the car. Honestly I don't know if I would've bothered with the styling bar or tails; but I do like them so they're staying.

Art Morrison, Chris Alston's Chassisworks, and Competition Enginering should all have REAL 6-point cage kits for your car. This is a "roll bar" kit. It's not until your talking about 8-points or more that it comes up front. If you don't know how to weld, pay someone to do the job right. Could save your life!
