I have my rollbar in and everything back in the car. The rule book says that padding is to be anywhere that the driver's head can make contact. I bought 5 - 3' lenghts of the SFI 45.1 padding which is really rigid. That's more than enough. Of course the top and the upper sides of the main hoop gets padding.

My question is, does the crossbar between the seats get done and does the side bars get done?

Show me pictures of your padding installation.

I have no pictures available at the moment, but it's pretty self explanatory: if your head can even possibly hit it while sitting in the driver's seat, wrap it. I wrapped the crossbar between seats, all three upper bars, the bar along the door, and even the bar behind the seat. Remember, they can gig you for not having enough padding but they can't gig you for having too much!
