Instead of running a full cage, why not run a roll/harness bar setup? That way your harnesses are correctly mounted, the roof will be held up in the event of a rollover, and you dont have to worry about slamming the side of your face into a big ol' bar.

Make sure you pad it with that FIA stuff though just in case.

uh, you better be talking about a hatch back, because thats a really long harness to go THROUGH the back seat, into the trunk.... yea, dont build it for DD, but you could get a midbrace thing, they sell those on ebay, a company makes them so there not just some random knock off...they also support harnesses.

That stuff isn't meant to protect you from skull-to-cage contact...

by roll/harness bar do you mean like the rear part of a full cage?

One more thing I should also add. YOu can pretty much kiss the use of your backseat goodbye.

Unless of course you know gymnast chicks, they'll be able to get back there
