Okay, here you go!!!

I was waiting to get it powdercoated, which will be after the production jig has been built, which should happen next week. But I guess you guys can see it before the rest of the world.
http://www.r-dracing.com/Prototype.htm

It is a bolt in or weld in unit, your option, with the foward support bar being removable. It will require removing the floor speaker to install the forward support, so you will loose some of your stereo effect while racing.

I'll be taking orders as soon as anyone wants to place one. It will retail for $595 with the Forum members price will be $495 during it's introduction.

Feel free to call me if you have any questions or would like to place an order.

Thanks,
Dave Cooper

How stiff does it make the car? This is my biggest gripe about C4's. Just throw the car over railroad tracks, pot holes, and extremely steep driveways. Please let us know how this helped.

I was wondering if my factory hardtop fits over that?

What material is it? And how much does it weigh?

Thanks:cheers:

It will not fit with the factory hardtop installed.

It is made from 1.75", .120DOM tubing.

Sorry, but I have not weighted it yet, I estamating in the 30's.
