It has its pros and cons. I do recommend doing an auto power bar if you want interior pieces like a head liner or sunroof. I had to delete mine and the plug had to be worked. I wrote a review on it...i wasnt happy with the product. Its up to you though, auto power is cool because you can retain everything and make it look stock inside which helps with classes in SCCA. Look through my build it has a lot of information.
Thank you! I wanted to do more with the rear, but since I dont drive to the track on my r comps, i had to make some way to put wheels under the bar. Its still a really nice bar, i want to respray it a different color. Maybe when i take it to paint.

What plate thickness did you use to connect the cage to the floor? Or is that more of a old school way of doing it?

I'm not sure what plate thickness. It's a NASA legal cage and probably Scca legal too. John at evil genius racing is a NASA inspector and he's the one who built the cage. I left it in his hands, and told him what I wanted.

The Scca book will say. But it's between 1/8 - 1/4" thickness.

Schroth Profi II - 6 FIA harness (non HANS) - its a 6 point with the cam lock on the anti sub. You can request for the anti sub to be moved to the lap belts like on the Takata MPH. Cam lock is metal unlike the

HANS Sport II
This is the basic set up i think most will end up running in the future. There are HANS alternatives, NECKSGEN and the Defender are popular. They are less intrusive than the HANS and offer the same protection. NECKSGEN also provides some side impact protection.
Pegasus Racing is having a 'sale' on HANS right now. They are $600 for the sport II and come with free shipping.
Almost all of the neck restraint systems will be $600 with little or no discount.
