how are yours mounted?

I’ll see if I can find a number on them. My drivers seat is 17” and the mounts bolt directly to the floor for right now. When my cage goes in it’ll get raised up about 1/4” because of the plating. But I’ll still have headroom and I have a long torso. We are going with a chromoly cage to maximize what little headroom there is

Not even mounted. Standing on the floor without any console, I can´t mount the targa roof . A part number would be fine. Thanx

I feel like I have seen this on Instagram or Reddit or something... or maybe turbo C4s are popular these days.

Regardless, love the look of the thing. You can never have too many hood vents!
