    No stripes...
    Awesome build. Love the stance. The stripes just detract from the overall look

    Just got the 8 pt. S&W rollbar installed. Very nice product n great fit. I'm now working on flopping the front axle over to get the front end down a bit. Hope to be racing by next spring.

    Plain Jane; NO stripes! I've never seen a rollcage support like what you have at the trans tunnel, interesting. Nice job with the entire car too; you should call the car Viagra, because it's got me pumped. I am Butch/56sedandelivery.
