Thanks! I appreciate the effort in getting the info. And, to Tres' post, Autopower makes a production 4 point roll bar thar bolts into the 05/06 Mustang. I just don't like how much floor space it chews up, so I'm looking for other possible options.

ORIGINAL: JerryinTO

It is a custom job, bolted to the frame at the seat belt anchors. It's a padded roll bar, in black.
You mentioned in your other post that it's made by CDC, just to be clear that is not a roll bar. A true roll bar has to be at least 4 points, a 2 point mounting system does not afford much (if any) rollover protection. CDC calls it the "light bar" for this reason. I've got one in my car, it doesn't actually bolt to the frame, it bolts to the upper chassis. But for what it is, it's mounted very solidly and is extremely well made.

I stand corrected! It must be fairly new, this came up a couple of months ago and some of the drag guys were trying to find a production 4, 5 or 6 pointer and couldn't find one anywhere.
