Yes Autoform has a roll bar available for the SRT10. I have one installed in my car. It was required before I could participate in the Viper Days events. I have been to two, one at Gingerman and one at Mid-America, then two other events with the Illinois region club at Gingerman. Now I need new tires already(1,750 miles). Oh well if you want to play you have to pay. Autoform has gotten the bar right it looks great in the car but the visilility out the rearview mirror is reduced, but you do get used to that. The finish on the bar and their replacement filler panel is very good. Their filler panel is a must, otherwise the stock filler panel has to be cut up to make room for the roll bar to be installed, and then it has to be replaced if you ever remove the roll bar. I will try to post some pictures of the bar when I get a chance. As far as I know there is no one else offering a roll bar for the SRT 10. Others might say they have one but I "think" those are Autoforms being resold. Mine was the second one installed on an SRT 10 and the first SRT 10 to show up at Viper Days. If you have never done a Viper Days DO IT, that is when you really see what the new cars can do. This is my first Viper and I am having a ball with it. It is no trailer queen, only to and from the events that are a long way from home. Mine has even done its one imitation of a sand box, thanks to an off track excursion with one rear wheel in turn 1 at Gingerman. It's a sinking feeling to look out the passanger side and see a wall of sand about to be dumped in your $80,000.00 play thing. Oh Well thats why they invented a vacuum cleaners.

I've seen a few pics of these and they don't look bad at all, but they're not really my style. If they're what I'm thinking they have sort of a double bar look. I would like to see Autoform and other vendors come out with some different options over time.

Yes, we'd like to see more pictures of the roll bar. That'd be great. Thanks.

I order mine....can't wait to get it. Did you intall the roll bar yourself?
No I did not install mine. I had Autform install the bar. I am very mechanically inclined but I would not attempt to install this bar myself. For what they charge for the bar installed ($1,895.00 I think) and because I live 2.5 hours away it was worth the time to drive there and have them install the bar. You can contact(616-392-4909 Jerry Strahan)them and depending on where you live they might be able to install one when they are at a Viper Days event that would be close to you.

Thanks for the info, I spoke with Jerry when I purchased it and he basically talked me through the install process. Springfield, MO is not close to anything. I should be hearing from them soon, we will see how it goes.

Here are a couple of shots of Autoform's roll bar, along with their body kit (minus the wing).

That looks like a neat and tidy installation. Does the roll bar restrict seat travel now?

...I keep the seat all the way back...haven't noticed any problems with seat travel at all....rear visibility is somewhat restricted....

Other than the back panel, did anything have to be customized/permanently modified on the car for one of these roll bars?

Yes, you have to use a sawzall to cut out the factory roll hoop. It can't be re-installed, without welding it back up where you cut it. So, this rollbar becomes permanent (a good thing)

Nine Ball - thanks for the reply! I meant to post this in the RT/10 forum... Will the same sawzall need to be used for an RT/10?

Not sure on that, I've only done my Gen 3 coupe.

The bar we make for the SRT 10 Coupe is the only one that requires the factory roll hoop section to be remove via sawzall...all of the other bars are a much easier bolt it application. RT10s only require a couple of holes to be drilled in the lower frame section of the car and then installing a couple of rivnuts.
