Default CDC Light bar

Always thought those light bars on a convertible looked cool, picked this one up for a couple hundred bucks, took about 2 hours to install. Wasn't thrilled about drilling holes in my Mustang though.

I got the Roush version, and man, what a huge difference! Don't know if I would ever have a vert without one.

I've got two daughters who have to ride in the back a lot. How much does it affect rear seat access?

Unless they are like 6' 3" then access is fine.

My daughter actually uses it to get into the back.

there is no roll bar protection with that piece, is there? Is the function purely visual?

I love the way mine looks on the new Vert.

yes, purely an aesthetic mod. I use it to swing myself into the back seat and I'm 6-4". It won't drastically affect rear seat access. And it makes a huge improvement to the car's profile with the top down IMO. I've had mine for a couple of years now and my only long term review is a slight rubbing (shining the bar's finish) on the passenger side when the top it up.
