Tis the bane of us convertible owners.

Be prepared to drill into numerous parts of the car for the installation.

You might try this one (100-246C) http://breathlessracing.com/index.ph...ewCat&catId=78 . Not sure if it meets SCCA, but you can call and check with the company. This bar has the fewest alterations of any that I researched (4 bolt holes in floor behind seats and 4 holes in the carpet). I bought mine simply to add a margin of safety on the street. It's about a 4 hour DIY project.

This one is SCCA approved: http://www.vetteworksonline.net/cata...roducts_id=187
It has removable door bars that require bolting a fixture in each footwell. Seems to be good quality and reasonably priced.

C6 convertible roll bar installation

RPM Roll bar installation turned out better than expected, function and look! Tried to do myself, removed seats, carpet etc... wised-up & decided to take to experienced shop. ACES Automotive in Indian Trail NC did the installation, awesome job, highly recommend them for any Corvette work, contact Chris-owner, 704-684-0265. This RPM Roll Bar meets requirement for all HPDE track day events. check it out; sales@rpmrollbar.com , ask for Rob, he gets it!
