Well, generally if you feel safer with a BK rollbar (which as far as I know is the ONLY option you have) then by all means - do it.

Just a few caveats:
a) To mount the rollbar you have to take off the existing padding on the rollhoops and the mesh grills which are sitting inside the rollhoops behind the seats.
b) Now you have to add some new (either self-made, or the ridiculously expensive BK padding which is sold seperately) padding to the existing roll hoops AND to the BK rollbar at the side facing the driver. Otherwise you run risk of injury in case you head does bounce around in case of an accident. In other words: Your car will look like you just got it all prepped up for a track day. If you enjoy that kind of attention you will get with this then great, otherwise....
When I go to the track I do all these changes the night before I go and I remove the rollbar + padding the next morning after I came back from the track.

Your top will barely open and close but you MUST close the latch which connects the top with the windshield after you opened the top. Otherwise the latch will get stuck in the rollbar when you close the top and you run the risk of serious damage to the top mechanism
