I told myself that I would never do this because I never cared for the look, but after deciding to keep my car and do as many saftey upgrades as possible, I would like to take in some info. I hate to say it but I liked the look of the rollbar on the GT500E Vert in the last Mustang Monthly (just the rollbar!) Does anyone know how much I will have to destroy the interior of my car to make this happen. I would prefer it to be something that could be taken out down the road without defacing the value of the car. I realize the kicker bars are going to have to go through the seat, but from there I don't know(never seen one in person). Thanks in advance!
 
Just an FYI...

The rollbars that look good are cosmetic only and provide little if any saftey improvement or chassis stiffening. The ones that are there for safety don't look good. I think it is about as simple as that. The ones that Shelby used in 68 on his verts wont fit your car but they are the least destructive ones I know about. Contact the GT500E manufacturers and see if they can make or sell you one like you saw in the mag, I did not see the article you mentioned.

Thanks for the advise. I pretty much know that nothing is going to look great in there, but sometimes it makes the car have a mean look and serve a major purpose too. I am just hoping not to tear up the interior so much that it can be returned to orig. without a major overhaul!
