Ohhhh baby!!!

That looks super cool...and that added safey..very very nice.

To be honest I had thought it would look like it shouldn't be there..

but if that was stock no one would question it..

Nice work

Damn! I didn't think it was gonna look that cool, but hey I can be wrong once.

Mikes right, looks like it could be an option.

I wanna sit in it with my helmet on when you come back up.

I knew it could be done all along. But I will admit it did take me a couple of years to find the person to do it, and have I ever used this forum to search out ideas! Thanks everybody.

I'm home and the car is back where it belongs. Here is my initial review.

#1 - The car is most definitely stiffer. Considering it is an S2000, already amazingly stiff, if the but dyno is worth anything or it is at least 50% accurate, THE CAR IS STIFFER!

#2 - There is a LOT more seat travel than I thought there would be. I'm 5'10.5" tall, I do not like to sit way back but I like to get back a ways. I have more seat travel than I need. The only "problem" is I have to design new clips to hold the seat belt at the top of the seat. The OEM design is so tall at the top it hits the bar and restricts seat travel/recline.

#3 - The only "rattle/squeak" is where the folding top bumps into the back brace. I'm solving that right now with a thin piece of magnetic rubber. This stuff is thin black rubber like stuff that has some type of magnetic stuff formed into the material - think thin bendable black stuff you print on to make refrigerator magnets. If this does not stay, I will go for a couple black tie-wraps and a thin sheet of real rubber.

#4 - There is no real "extra" wind noise. This car ain't quiet when the top is down and I can't tell that it is any louder now than it was before the bar.

#5 - People really stop and stare at the car now!

#6 - My face hurts from so much smiling.
