Hi Fellow mustang owners, has anyone installed a roll bar in their verts? if so please post your pics, any suggestions as to a good place to buy them?

Thanks

I've been looking at Autopower's catalog. They've done good things in the past. Hard to make a recommendation without knowing what your uses and expectations are. Looking at the catalog might help firm up your ideas.

My tentative choice is the Race Roll Bar with Bolt-in cross brace.

Yup, I put a Kirk bolt-in in mine. Not as pretty as light bar, but I have to have a real rollbar to race.

Here's another link showing the installation in a 05 convertible. Same product (autopower) but it makes thinking about what you are going to do a little clearer. The other pages from this (near San Francisco) vendor include FAQs for your edification:

I originally ordered a Steeda 4 point roll bar, but what I got was a Kirk. Apparently Steeda manufactures Kirk. I paid about $300 for it but overpaid having someone else install it.

It does prevent the seat from going back, and it makes it a little more difficult for people to get into the back seat. I still like it
