love everything, i prefer the TRS seats over the A4 tho, they are only a 100 -200 bux more for the pair.

also, if its your daily driver i sugggest you dont get a rollcage, and you already know why.

everything else sounds good.

I know why, but I want to run the harnesses, so I don't have much of a choice... I can get plenty of foam bar covers... I don't know, it's a lot to think about.

That'll be sweet, but I'd suggest leavin' the harness pads out though.

What's the opinion on, say, a harness bar versus a roll bar/cage? This car is daily driven and sees some track time (not as much as I'd like) so I'd like to sort of... get as much of both worlds as I can. I'm set on the seats, harnesses, and mounts... contemplating the pads... so it's really all about the set-up of the harnesses (any and all cage/bars will be wrapped in foam padding).

the tC is already top heavy, and by adding the autopower cage it becomes even worse.

go with a custom cage set up, that way you can design it for your convenience.

is the Autopower Street-Sport Roll Bar a custom job to put in or is it a bolt on application ?

Any idea on how much that'd run me? And what kind of shop do youj go to do get work like that done? Just a body shop or suspension shop?

I think I'm going to look for something more like this:
