Ive got the AUTOPOWER full cage in my S14 and its a bolt in. With a bit of cutting of the rear interior panels, you can have the full stock interior.

The cage is great…it made the car so tight that when it was being bolted together, it snaped the windsheild.

I strongly recommend this product, but its not a simple job putting it in.

If your just putting the role bar in, then it shouldnt be too bad at all.

um I don’t think that’s a good thing… you should have shimmed it as necessary

It was shimmed when the new wind screen went in…What can I say…it was my first cage.
