The car is strictly for toy usage at the track:Hey gmookher, thanks for the questions.
1) as our entire kit is TIG-welded in the first place, the question of using chromoly tubing is a valid one. However, there are a couple of things that serve to mitigate its weight advantage (because of the use of thinner wall material). First is that our system, although employing both an integrated harness bar and a diagonal, uses a relatively short amount of tubing (as compared to a full-on 8-point cage). Further, the main hoop straddles the main cross beam (for maximum strength and to eliminate any potential for punch-through as compared to floor mount systems) - but this makes our main hoop and down tubes both shorter and inherently stronger. In sum, chromoly tubing in our application would save only a very modest amount of weight. PM me if you remain interested. Pragmatically, we could consider it but only when we go to run a second "batch" of roll-bar kits.
2) Thanks to ask about other color availability. Just to emphasize, for a more complete and durable lifetime finish, all of our bar kits are powdercoated and not painted. Developing a custom-color - Avalanche Gray, as an example would only be practical if we could amortize the cost of developing the color over several dozen like-coated bars. That said, we still have a couple of worthy options. Our powder coating shop uses color from Cardinal Paint. Here is a link to their std colors. http://cardinalpaint.com/products/productcat.php?pcid=2&cctid=11 If you look under "Computer" color tabs, perhaps either Quartz Gray or Light Gray might be a very close match and/or complementary color? Another option is that we can ship a bar bar assembly to you at a discount and then you can use the discount to have the bar kit painted Avalanche Gray locally. (I say locally because on a painted bar, I would prefer that it is painted AFTER the shipping to mitigate any possibility of scratches.)
1-I'd take the drive over to cali with my R to OC for a custom turnkey DOM or cro-mo install by you, can you PM me a quote please?
2-red, black or a grey will work, need not be a perfect match, like the red photos!
