Roll-Bar
I have a 2000 convertible and was wanting a roll-bar for it, preferably a kit that I can install myself; however im not racing it, rather just want to be safe (I don't want to put those cheap chrome hoops on it)... Can anyone help!!!

Cant help but the party line is that the windscreen acts as a roll bar and should be enough protection for anything but the track. Guess it depends how fast you plan to take it and how often.

if you're looking for functional, check out the SCCA Solo rules
www.scca.com
click on Solo
click on Cars and Rules
download the PDF and look at Appendix C
or http://www.scca.com/_FileLibrary/Fil...solo_rules.pdf
Although I can't speak from personal experience, I have heard from several people that it is very hard to meet those standards in a vert if you intend for the top to still work.
