HERE WE GO!! DEBUT!!

Thanks to Rick, i was allowed this opportunity to be a lab rat for AutoPowers to make their first SCCA approved roll cage for the application Scion tC. I'm actually very impressed of AutoPowers for being able to produce the prototype AND my cage in just one week.

Don and Rick from AutoPowers was very professional and straigth forward and was very willing to help.

This is a bolt on roll cage and AutoPowers painted it black. Came out very nice and now my car does not squeak at all anymore. The car is now very rigid and handling has improved dramatically.

i'll let the pictures do all the talking lol


overview


headliner


front


back


from driver side


from the back


AutoPower!!


rear right


rear left

I'm actually in a rush so i will give a full review when i get back!!

Just wanted to say thanks to Rick and Rick and DON lol for making this happen. It is
seriously worth it. It also gives the car a more racy look

Enjoy!!

In a day or two i'll have another update on another new part installed!!

Taek,

Its nice to see you on SL again after the grilling you took a month or so ago. Your car is looking real nice, but I hope you can keep it safe.
