G35 roll cage build
#17
Can't wait go get home and see this pictures. Being 6' tall with a sun roof makes it impossible to sit comportably in my stock seats (with or without helmet). After a full day my neck is hurting. So if I upgrade the seats that means I need a harness which means I need somewhere to mount it which means i had better pay the price and get a decent cage built. That sentence may be over simplified but there is some truth to it.

you do gain about 2 inches of headroom, at least. keep in mind though that i removed my headliner so all-in-all, maybe 3 inches total.

just make sure you check your local rules and regs from whoever you are going to run with. what i typed may not be universal, but it's a really good idea.

I had my headliner out back a year ago and I actually had ample room with the helmet. But I have this notion that I'll keep the car civilized which is why I put the headliner back in. After looking at those pictures you have above the car looks better stripped with the roll cage in.
Regardless, if I do go competition there goes the sun roof. That'll hurt because I've never seen a sunroof plugged that actually looks better (or good for that matter).
