Third-Gen, How did you solve these issues on your install? I am in the process right now and I am running into the same issues. The rear mounts I intend to shim with some 1/8 to 3/16 aluminum bar stock cut and drilled to fit but the fronts are stumping me at the moment. Not sure if they changed the floor of the Camaro between 2010 and the 2015 or if there is something I am missing. By the way, Figures 1 and 10 are pics from a Mustang, in their Camaro instructions. Can't see how that would confuse anyone...

I ran into the same thing and expressed this to RPM. Basicly was told I didnt know what I was talking about...

I don't think it is 100% their fault, there really is no great spot for the front feet to bolt in but that being the case, make some 3/4" x 1 1/2" aluminum bar stock spacers for under the front of the main hoop. Same on rear, I don't think the could go any wider to actually hit the wheelwell and have the ability to still get the bar in the car in one piece. I had to wrestle mine to get it in and I have 1/4" +/- on each side. Once again, 1/4' aluminum bar stock spacers. For the $$$$ paid, it should come with the kit. Did you come up with a similar solution?

I couldn't find/get any good info over on the Camaro6 forum for my 2016 2SS Vert. You guy's had incredible info and Pics!!! Just missing a PDF of the awesome instructions lol. A little surprised at the age of the thread, and that I haven't heard from one of you that have since moved to the 6th Gen. Well, after reading this thread, I'm very discouraged to move forward with this RPM investment.

I know I’m kinda reviving an old thread but I wanted to comment about my experiences installing my rpm 6pt roll bar in my 2010 2ss.

1. This is the first time I’ve ever installed a roll bar and it’s not perfect but I think I did a great job being I had no help at all.

2. If I had to do it again I’d pay someone else to do it! At least one from rpm rollbars anyways.

3. And this is the biggest part and the main reason I am posting! The provided directions rpm rollbars provide is about useless. They are more like guidelines than actual directions. Very poorly written, kinda vague, and pictures were half useless and only somewhat helpful. They didn’t include the picture I’m including here of the rear side panels and what and where you need to cut for installation. The other picture I’m including is parts that go to the front foot mounts between them and the car. The directions made absolutely no mention of them or how they orientate or which 3 of the four holes they go to. The only way I even knew they went to the foot mounts It’s they Were in the bag of hardware labeled foot mounts. They however did do a great job of labeling hardware and what the hardware was for.

4. In the end I’m satisfied with the install my door bars are little tighter then I’d like them to be but I think it’s just easier to get in and out going over top of them luckily I’m kinda small guy if I was much bigger I’d be struggling to do that.
