I saw pics of it on the Paragon site. Can the covers still go in over the bar in the front trunk?

The final answer from Vertex...

Is that I did it right, and they seem to be aware of the special "problems" with it.

They said they have been talking about doing an instruction sheet for it, but just haven't gotten around to it yet.

They guy also mentioned they were thinking about making a couple of changes to it to make it easier to install... to avoid the interference problems I encountered. Good idea.

I guess for 1/2 the price of the others (I paid $119) it wasn't a bad deal, just a little frustrating.

Looking forward to driving it after I get the CV boots done to see the difference.

Jack

John,

The Bar sits directly behind the Battery and does not interfere with the Inspection Covers at all. Easy install - remove 2 of 3 Bolts (13mm) from the Struts (keep the one tight to prevent losing the Camber Setting). Install the Brackets, retighten Strut bolts to 26 ft. lbs., and then attach and adjust the Bar. Total time - under 10 min.

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
