Looks great! Not considering tilting obvioulsy, does the front seat move all the way to the rear-most setting horizonatally?

The lowest quote I got was 1,100, but I got a great deal on a used one locally. You actually don't lose that much space, but it just becomes harder to get stuff in and out. I can still put a golf bag in the back, but only if I put the top down and back up.

The seat does stop short of moving all the way back, but ever since I started doing DEs, I've changed my seating position from all the way back to closer to the wheel and the bar does not affect the new position (I'm 5'10"). You definitely lose a lot of tilt so if you're seating position tends toward the gangster lean, then you are out of luck.

996convert,

Cool pic, thanks for posting. Did you have it installed, or do the install yourself?

Installed it the first time with the help of the previous owner and have installed myself one other time with some help from a buddy. Fairly straightforward. Essentially undoing and redoing four bolts. Only tricky part is lining up the bolts correctly so you don't strip the threads. There is a good write-up on Rennlist if you search under Tequipment Rollbar. I don't know how to post threads.
