well that will keep the roof from crushing in so yes the driver and passenger will be protected. the bars dont need to go over the front, but it just adds more strength if they do. just look at tractors and old jeeps (cj-7s and older). it keeps the main part of the vehicle off the ground so your noggin doesnt have to support the weight

The driver is protected with the 4pt harness fixing to be put in and the air bags. I guess if there wasn't a roll cage, I can ask you if you are protected? But if I end up rolling my car, the roof won't cave in as much as it would.

Very nice andre, will you have it welded in by the silver springs show? And you know, once you have harnesses, airbags will only hurt you in a crash (just airbag burns, other possible injuries ((broken wrist,etc.)) just with a harness, you're not gonna hit the airbags, so they're not needed.
