Just be aware that the Autopower bar is not NHRA approved in case you plan on going to the track.

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.
