Light Bar versus Style Bar

Light Bar versus Style Bar
I have a new 2010 Candy Red GT Convertible Premium. So far, I've upgraded to a four pillar spoiler over the wimpy lip wing that came stock. Hood scoop and side scoops are on the way. New Flowmaster is sounding great. And have already installed a Bel Pro RX75 Radar / Laser Jammer system. And this is just the first month.
Now I'm thinking about a style bar for appearance and to stiffen the body up some. So which one? With or without the lights?
I like the lights with the top down, but with the top up wouldn't it light up the interior like crazy. I don't really want it to look like I'm playing with small explosives every time I hit the brakes with the top up.
Opinions? Anyone have either installed? Pro's and Con's would be helpful.
Thanks

I would be surprised if the '10 light bar did not have the same feature as the 05-09 in which the light gets deactivated when the top is up (at least on the CDC). You might want to look for a copy of the install manual to double check.
Don't count on these bars doing much for stiffening things up as they are made from a fairly thin walled pipe and with the way they mount, not going to do much for the chassis.

I got the CDC light bar on my '09. My wife was rear ended a month after we got the car. When I showed her the 2 bar options, she insisted on the light bar. It make is much more noticeable, day or night. Looks wise, it's the best upgrade I've made. Get compliments every time I have the top down. (It's wired so the brake light doesn't come on when the top is up)

It looks great. I have the light bar in my '02, so the light comes on even with the top up. With the black top/headliner - you don't even know the light comes on, unless you turn your head around to see it's glow. It's not noticeable in the mirror or out of my peripheral vision.
