Default Anybody have dealer insalled roll bar?

My V6 convertible was delivered to the dealer today. Still needs 2 days to install BLUETOOTH. While I was there, there was a black GT convertible with a roll bar. Anybody have this?

Jerry

What's BLUETOOTH? If you have a BLUETOOTH enabled cell phone, you don't have to put the phone to your ear, a separate microphone picks up your voice and the caller's voice is played through the car speakers.

bluetooth is a wireless connection commonly used for cellphones and wireless mouses (not mice im correct) on computers. if you have bluetooth on you cellphone when somone calls your phone can be in your cupholder and you can talk through your speakers. i have a wireless bluetooth earpeace for my RAZR phone.

Was it a true roll bar, or a CDC light bar? Big difference. Light bars are just for looks (really cool, but no structural strength), where a true roll bar is designed to provide roll over protection. If it is a light bar from CDC you can install it yourself and save a boatload of $$$$. They provide really good step-by-step directions.

No, it's a true roll bar, not a light bar. Any idea how much they go for?

Nope I dont know where they got a true roll bar, unless it was from Autopower. Ask the dealer to ask the owner. I'd like to know myself. Thanks.

No, they install the roll bar on new vehicles. Cost is about $700 for the part and about $300 for the labour, in canadian dollars

There isn't a production roll bar being made for the new Mustangs, only the CDC light bar. If the car you saw had a true roll bar it would have to be a minimum of 4 points and was probably a custom job.

It is a custom job, bolted to the frame at the seat belt anchors. It's a padded roll bar, in black.
