    I just got back from the Autopower shop in San Diego where they installed a 4-point rollbar in my 3 day old GT vert.

    Solid. Tightens up the car quite a bit, and the car was already tight.

    I had one on my 00 GT vert, and this new one is much better.

    The rollbar is a few inches further back, so it's not close to your head at all anymore. The downtubes in the back are further apart, so people could actually sit back there, unlike the old version, where someone sitting in the back would have a steel tube in their sides.

    Now I'm going to get a pad and cover put on it, maybe chamois or maybe black, haven't decided yet.

    Looks fierce, though, IMO. :)

    Autopower? I could see my house from there! (hyperbole, but not much) What was the bill, Parts and Labor, if you don't mind telling?

    $800 installed. Getting it padded is another $300.

    Cheaper than brain surgery...

    Thank you. I'm looking forward to the pics that show what alterations to the interior were necessary. Pretty exciting ...

    I've raced five different cars with Autopower bars. Never tested one, fortunately.

    Well, the other thread I opened here has a big picture.

    As far as modifications, there's cuts in the plastic surrounding the convertible hardware, and that's it.
