When I see sanctioning bodies give approval for this bar for HPDE - like NCMs - I will be ordering one!

It's really a shame GM doesn't give you a factory option for a roll bar in the convertible.

We have had no problem with NASA, ERME and PBOC

2 of our customers just ran Sebring with them.

I mean it has passed tech in NASA, ERME and PBOC for HPDE events. It is a 4 point bolt in roll bar which is what they are looking for the the HPDE events.

I have a 427 and was looking to add a Good looking and functional roll bar. Are they panited? Powercoated? Any updates needed for the 2013? It would be nice to be able to drive the 427 at a track day. Once in a while.

Can you provide photo's of installation on a 2012 GS vert?

Seats are wider at the top than the base model seats.

Would you mind providing your height? I'm 5'10, I need to be able to pass the "broom stick" test.

I recently switched my roll bar from one convertible to another. I didn't bother pulling the seats, and it was no problem doing both the removal and new installation. As you can imagine that makes the install go a lot faster. Just FYI.
