Looks great! Don't the down bars need to tie into a cage in order to be functional or are they just for show on this car?

Ideally tying them into a rollcage would be best. But we installed them to add some front end stability and to give us a place to mount the triple adjustable reservoirs. I suppose in reality the bars should be a continuous section of the rollcage but that would require. So any of the connectors unless properly added to the cage are kinda just for show or not doing what they could. \

This car is intended as a low speed autocross car and for lots of fun on the street. So we decided the cage might be a bad idea as a street car.

Thanks Rodger. I had always thought that was the case given how thin a firewall really is. I just wasn't sure.
