I agree, unfortunately trying to fight the government never works so well. When it comes to things like this, we really have no recourse. The only way it would work is to actually get a car...

Thanks for all the input, you all made some great points. I've decided to keep the roll bar. I'm not quite sure about the top yet though.

The top is fiberglass, I wouldnt trust it in a rollover. I wouldnt trust most other "tin-can" cars either, nor would I trust the rollbar since my head is at the same height as it.

VERY NICE WORK ROB!

Well, I wouldnt say it was easy. I used to be a mechanic at a Ford dealership, and I still had a tough time with it. Main reason is accessability. You're working from within a small access hole. You...

I see what you mean, it's very similar to mine. I'd imagine it can be fixed though. I also noticed in almost every Zeintop picture out there the hatch doesnt look like it sits all the way down as it...

I did use the shims, they fit with the spinlocks, I also used some 1/4" spacers which Pat made for it. That took care of the middle section. In the rear, there really isn't anything to hold it up...

You're right, I noticed that too. I still need to do a few more adjustments to get it right. I just got it back from the paint shop today, so I'm sure I'll be tweaking all weekend to get it right!

Only about 10-15 minutes, it takes two people though because the top is a little heavy and you want to be careful not to scratch the car. The first install took a couple hours because I had to...

For the extra $5 a tank, I'd rather have better performance and less risk of damage. My car performs bad enough as it is with the 10% Ethanol they have added to gasoline in the past year or two. I've...
