the only tool here is the guy that didn't bother to check out all of the after pictures of cars with so called "fake" parts before commenting on them. - fyi learning is fun

I bought the Hard Dog because I didn't want to get turned away at a track day (I'm 35 minutes from Watkins Glen) because of an unapproved bar... and it's a high bar. I'm tall and would never pass a "broomstick" test without a high bar and a lowered seat.
I have nothing against the other bars except that some don't allow for full seat travel. I have to have the max. Some really restrict seat recline including the 4 bend Hard Dog, so I had to go 2 or U bend bar and notch the bulkhead to lose only a click or two of max recline.
It's just perfect... but it's a lot of work.

Great job!
If and when you install a race seat and harness, will you have to cut a slot in your trim to pass the harnesses through? Or did you already accommodate that? It's hard to tell from your photos. How many hours (bar and trim) did it take?
I am considering the exact same bar for my MY07 as well. I am tired of rolling the dice at track days. What seat/rails are you looking at?
