    Cant see the reasoning behind it? Why not just go through dash with straight leg? Can be made to look tidy easily.

    Looks as if its well off the A Pillar too, restricting view..

    Never been a fan of dash-dodgers, you lose a lot of strength adding that bend into it, and I'd rather have a cage for function, not because I don't want to cut my pretty dash. Have you also had it welded to one of the early Apex cages with those strange bar mounts?

    As above, the a-pillar bars don't interfere with the door cards, only the door bars.

    dash dodgers are alright if the legs go straight down, dont see the point in them otherwise, looks top job though and those door cards look sweet!

    Ive got a dash dodger
    Purely because it came with the car mind you.

    Yes the bend obviously isnt as strong as the non bendy version but hell its a damn site stronger than no cage id say. Also makes the whole car a bit stiffer too. And looks pretty swish.

    Adding carbon doors to save weight then adding steel bars is a little sensless though. Even tho its cool as hell having it over not.

    Looks pretty snazzy that. Nice bit of fabrication by the looks of it. I'm very happy with my Fabricage (which goes through the dash), just a shame it took so bloody long to arrive.

    Not sure why people feel the need to jump on here shouting about how it's crap because it's a dash dodger. You clearly like it which is why you started the thread. It does what you want it to do so maybe if people don't like it they should just not comment.
