| Sorry guys, no box pics-it didn't come in one ;) The install was fairly easy. I left the seats in place but removed the T-Tops of course. I had help from a friend so that made things much easier when it came to centering and installing/removing the bar. It feels like it weighs ~60lbs but I did not weigh it with the bathroom scale method. I can't tell if there is any benefit to chassis rigity but the car does seem to have better turn in and less understeer than before. I bought it from Livermoreperformance.com for $380 plus shipping. It is the Race rollbar with bolt-in diagonal crossbar and bolt-in horizontal harness bar. The rearview mirror is pretty much useless now and you need to pay extra attention when backing up etc. Alos the passenger seat will not slide all the way back with the diagonal bar installed, that's why I opted for the bolt-in option. I removed the plastic cover for the side of the driver's seat to allow full travel. The bolts included in the kit were not long enough for the floor mounts so six bolts ~3/4" longer are required for proper thread engagement. I would like to point out that the plates go under the car to sandwhich the floor between the bar and the plate. In WagZ' write-up, his pictures show the plates under the rollbar feet but still inside the vehicle. Just FYI In conclusion I am happy with this modification and I am anxiously awaiting my 5-point camlock harness.
