My UPR loop fits fine. You have to pull your front and rear seats out and pull the carpet up so you can drill.

Mystery, its a safety item. Incase the driveshaft breaks you dont want it rotating around banging around your floorpan and exhaust ect. Well worth it IMO.

Yep, it won't fall, it'll just stay in the loop so it can't do any damage.

I would, its only like $40 and will save your ass if it needs to. NHRA requires them for cars going 13.9 and faster.
