Not something that is particularly well suited to a Vert. Without a rollbar there is no rollover protection so you don't want harnesses holding your upper body in place.

Build your own! DOM tubing bent to my specs, welded in place iside the car (BE VERY CAREFUL!) These pictures don't show the harnesses but I used black sfi approved belts. I took the pictures with my phone, sorry the quality is so bad. Also gives me a place to mount a fire extinguisher and a camera for the track. If you can't weld hire someone it is not that expensive. If I ever want it out of the car, a few minutes with a sawzall and...all back to stock again!

One other thing, you might not see it from the pictures, it is also bolted into behind the shoulder belt mounts. this bar does stiffen the car significantly. good luck be sure to post pictures.
