Whip what are your thoughts on the quality of the plastic covers? I am curious especially as they seem to attach with strong double sided stick tape and I assume that is hard to remove...

When removing the roll bar padding it is best to use a flat head screwdriver, make sure you put a few layers on electrical tape over the blade potion so you do not scuff your roll bar paint. Watch out for those little clips…if you have a black interior they are hard to spot when they come out. Sometimes the plastic clips end up on the padding side too. Just pay attention when doing it and you'll be fine.

There are 3 clips on one roll bar hoop and two in the middle. I start by popping the bottom of the hoops, the second clip is in the middle, with two undone it is easy to see the third.

Much more simple than it sounds….don't forget the tape!

The quality of the plastic is good. It's the quality the paint job that matters the most. I got a great paint job and it paid off. The roll bars on my 987 are painted from factory and they look awesome, obviously the overlays aren't that good but from behind they look sharp.
