The main hoop bar will be raked back so that from the side of the car the angle of the main hoop will mirror the angle of the intersection between the front and rear windows. (you may not see the bar when the top is up if that makes sense) Too many people makes the main hoop straight from the floor up and its angle, and the angle of the window intersection don't match. My old roll bar was like this and it always bothered me. The rear bars will go right over the back seat and then down to the rear shock tower area.

    Thanks! Here's the clevis's I'm getting for the swing outs. They are stupid expensive, but they look SO much better than the usual swing outs found on most bars.
