Have you determined how much modification of the interior will be required to fit the roll cage? Also, have you determined how much weight this will add? Not sure you really want a roll cage for several reasons.

Not decided on roll cage yet, only contemplating a harness like cage for now.
All my parts are ordered and should be here shortly. I also wrapped my roof in gloss black, very MB pano like...

A harness is a bad idea by itself. If you want a safety system in the car - it has to be three components that work together:
1) Roll Cage (or bar). Full cage is way better.
2) 5 or 6 point Harness tied to the bar or cage
3) Hard shell Racing Seat bolted to the floor that won't collapse
When you leave out one of the above, you risk doing yourself more harm than good in a crash.
Example - let's say you have the Harnesses on and nothing else (no seat or roll bar) on a track day. You drop two off and roll the car at speed and the roof comes down. With the harnesses on you are locked into the seat as that roof comes down around you and the weak point will be your broken neck. If you're very, very lucky the stock seat will break at the hinge and allow you to not be the high point during the roof crush.
In the same scenario with stock street belts on (3 points) you will actually roll out and to the right when the roof comes down in the rollover and find yourself smashed into the console or in the passenger foot well in almost all instances and your neck will not be broken nor your skull crushed.
What looks cool - may not work very well. Just something for you to be aware of before you install that.

Love the color....did you do a cf roof or just film. I agree about the cage, if you are not going racing, skip it and concentrate on go fast and look good mods. Keep the pics coming.
