Thanks Bryce.
I wanted to confirm mount points with AP because I was curious as to how strong those points would be and if installing reasonable reinforcing would be possible. The shorter sunroof version looks like the way to go.....if the mount points can be reinforced.

I'm really glad Lat-g doesn't have in thread advertising like that.......it drives me crazy!

I'm still personally unsure about the whole "bolt-in" cage thing. But that's just me.

Id rather have a cage tied into the structure of a vehicle (sub frame connectors with and out rigger going to the rocker) Or the frame.

Not bashing anybody's product line. Just my personal opinion.

I believe it has a cert in the east coast timing association???????

Also remeber that a NHRA roll bar or cage is differenet from an SCCA roll bar or cage. They have different requirements sometimes they contradict eachother. SCCA does not require a cage for pro-touring cars, but if you have one it has to be per their rules. At least thats the way I read their rules.

But better than none for a primarily street occasional track day car? Provided it can be reinforce enough to keep it from punching through? Thus making shoulder harnesses an option that add an element of vehicle control.
