I don't even have my car yet and I've placed an order for a roll bar from Autopower down in San Diego.
$369 for the bar, $400 for installation.
Plus padding and a matching cover will put it above $1k, but how much is it worth if you wind up upside down?
That windshield frame isn't going to do J*** S*** in even a low speed rollover.
I drive somewhat aggressively (I have my own sports car club) so if I do wind up "off road" I want to know I won't have to try to support an almost 2 ton car on my head.
It's approved at Willow Springs and Autocross events, but not for drag racing.
Autopower makes a six point bar that is drag approved.
But what I'm interested in is that little bit of protection. I know that in a really high speed wreck or multiple rolls or the wrong angle, it might not help (but then again, that can be the case with a hard top). But it's that skid off the road, into a ditch, slowing down to 30 mph or less and then hitting a curb and rolling onto your lid, the survivable kind of rollover, that I'm looking to address. I've seen quite a few convertibles where the entire car is flat, windshield frame flattened down against the door frame. That roll bar *might* just keep the car off the ground enough to crawl out.
