Well aside from custom, its the only thing I can do without having a style bar... that will fit under the hard top... and I <3 my hard top... twas a factory option so yea. :goodjob: Thanks tho. Its hard to roll a miata, I do worry about my safety though, and after seeing droptopdrifters first car (white one he rolled) with a bar like that... certainly encourages me to get one. Shit saved his life.

hahaha it was a bitch my first time...(hard dog double diagnol) the style bar was a piece of cake (on my friends car, my old one came with the car), 10 mins install, like 2 mins removal... and mine was about 2 mins removal as well, woulda taken less time if the freakin bolts werent so long. :tongue1: How long did it end up takin yall?

Lookin' good man. The bar is 'fun' to install eh? :D Theyre even fun to remove!...especially when working alone.

The lower stance of your suspension and front lip does alot to enhance the car. Keep up the good work!
