    I got a look at Savage's bar. Looks very nice. The fit up seems just as good as the TCKline one i bought, except maybe not quite as tight to the roof. My bar was a massive pain to install as it was so tight fitting.

    I designed it to clear the stock headliner. So if you are not running a headliner there will be a little more room. Thanks for the kind words! I can't wait to see it.

    Yea, i would have preferred a looser fitting bar, since i run a headliner. My headliner now has rub marks from installing the bar, and they will never go away.

    It's about time someone did a good bar for a reasonable price.

    I was going to order a pre-made tonight and found this thread. Would you consider shipping (to Rochester, NY), if I can arrange it? you can e-mail directly to rich(at)studio-2b.com

    E36 M3 Techno, baby,
    The bar is not very close to either the side walls or the roof. You really want it as tight to these as possible. Another thing to look as is the foot plates. Do they contour to the floor or are they flat and pulled in by the bolts.

    The bar was designed to fit with stock side panels and stock headliner. There is about a half inch on each side and about a half inch to the top with a stock headliner. If someone wants it taller than I can make it taller, and yes plates are contoured.

    Plates are contoured very well, I would say as good as the TCKline version. It is not as tight to the top of the headliner, that is definitely true, but I doubt that really matters much in the grand scheme of things. The side fitment seems to be similar to most rollbars. I am happy with the fitment overall.

    Are all the bars the same price? Also, how are these guys picking these up?

    Id be interested in this one...

    $475 for the .095 with the rear X.
    $460 for the 0.95 without the rear X.
    I can also do a custom job if you want.

    I just shipped out a bar yesterday via greyhound. It cost $86 to Rochester, NY. So that is going to be the cheapest way to get them if you want it shipped. If not you can come pick it up with a truck or just take out your interior parts that need to come out and we can just put it in your car. I would also like to add that I have also made some slight modifications to snug the bar up to the headliner a little more to ensure a nice tight fitment.

    Some people were requesting pictures of bare joints as well so here are a few I took the other day.

    Hey everyone. I just wanted to let you all know I have made a few of these now and have really honed in the design. Here are a few pictures of what I have come up with. Notice the rear bars and the X brace terminate on the same node, as well at the diagonal bar that goes to the drivers head has been moved up. Also the X brace tubes and diagonal tube contact and are welded directly to the mounting plates. I thank everyone for their support and input. This bar now could be used in a full cage application at any point if you decided to go that route. Thanks again and keep the orders coming!

    Not Spec E36 legal correct because it's a bolt in?

    Instead of bolting, can you just weld it in?

    Absolutely! I can make it without holes for that exact purpose. Or you could just plug weld the holes which would work too.

    Alright guys, just wanted to check in and give everyone a heads up. Things are going great and I have made about 8 bars in the past 4 weeks. The design is now super solid and I feel very confident with the product. I have been thinking of a name for my little business here and I think Bayside Fabrications is what I am going to run with. I think it has a nice ring to it and it will be much easier to identify with rather than "that guy on the forums who makes roll bars." Just wanted to run it by my local guys and see what you think as far as the name is concerned. Oh, and I have a E46 M3 coming in next weekend to play with. Another bar will be coming soon!

    Purchased on of these a few weeks back. Bar arrived in roughly a weeks time, was very well packed and the whole ordeal was pretty painless. I had never been in a Greyhound station before so that was a bit of an adventure. Must say I am extremely pleased with the purchase. I had a few questions and Ben called/emailed me very quickly. Here are some pics of the bar installed in my very dirty 95 M.
