Looking for a bit more road safty and am thinking of adding a roll bar to my '94 Z. However I have full rear tonneau covers that I do not want to cut.

Anyone know of a rollbar that will fit my needs?
Tks

Sounds like you'll have to fab your own for that tonneau cover. Probably have to be something like the old Alpha had. It would look like a two point, but you could brace it from just under the tonneau to make it a four point. Hell... you could brace it in front like a six point, even easier.

or you could go with the regular 4 point, and cut bar "slots" into the tonneau covers so the tonneau covers could still work as designed.

I belived DGMotorsports and RKSport both have examples of this idea.
