Default R-D Racing cross-frame

I'm considering installing the cross-frame from R-D Racing.

Any insights from those of you who have one installed would be appreciated.

Does it make a noticable difference with the targa top off? With the top on?

Any problems with routine maintenance with the brace installed?

Thanks,

I've had the Cross Frame fo little over a year now. I love it. Really helped to stiffin up the chassis. If buy another C4, It will have the Cross Frame. I never take the top off so I can't say about that, seems like it would be better with the brace installed. The Cross Frame is really well built and R-D Racing has great customer service.
Does not interfere with regular maintance, oil changes, etc. Only if you need to drop the exhaust, tranny, should you need to remove.

Looks like Dave is having a sale too:
