Anyone have some good shots of one on a fox body from a few different angles? Im looking to get onfe for my 92 GT 'vert but not too sure....
If you can't post pics you can email them chgrrt@hotmail.com

The one I am getting is black but I would need to dye it white to match....anyone ever dye black to white? Does it show through too much? maybe a light primer first?

I'm on the fence. I like the looks of them but don't know if I want one or not.

I like the CDC best. (It now comes with a circuit that shuts off the brake light when the top is closed.)

Then there is the MRT exterior color matched bar which is unique.

Others I've found include Aeroform (no light, sits too far back and leans back), Cervini and the Roush. Any others?

I definitely like them... but really wish they'd make one that actually worked as a roll bar. Obvriously not for competition, but for general safety and so that it would have a function other than just to look good.

I have one on my 2002 and one on my son's 2001. We have lowered the front and with the top down, the cars have perfect lines. I agree with the earlier post that says it adds to the muscle of a true American muscle car.

Has anyone seen the new CDC carbon-fiber light bar? I'm wondering how it would look on my black car. I've been trying to track down some pictures but have been unsuccessful. Anyone?

They won't help in a rollover at all, they are really just for looks. I like them with a speedster tonnou, bit otherwise I don't.

I like the one on my car.

Cervini's tonneau and bar. Had them both painted to match the car scheme (black w/flat black stripes).

i think the black trim would tie it all together

it has metal inside, but it is not rated to support the weight/force of a roll over.

I brought this up in another thread, but has anyone seen the new CDC carbon fiber light bar? Dying to find pics and figure out if it will clash with an all black car.

lol, not even close.

Besides, it wouldn't pass inspection even if it was made out of solid steel. I believe to pass inspection you need a minimum of a 4-point bar with a non-removabe harness bar. A steel hoop just doesn't cut it for the track.
