You will yell, but I think the outside needs to be "stepped up" just like the car. Wrap, etc. Just needs sumpin

Ya I did consider removing all the stickers, but it would look to much like the 3.8L.

Maybe leave the hood, roof and rear stripe but remove the side striping only leaving the RS 4.0 part.

My only thing was I did not want to take away from the OEM look. I wanted a little "tuning" on the car but not go so far that it no longer has the RS 4.0 WOW factor. When this project is over and all upgraded are installed, you will still know its an RS 4.0.

Fair enough. I was meaning maybe some cool wrap features. But I do like the OEM opinion. Maybe the 3.8? You have more cool cars than anyone in the US, so one of em needs more sex appeal.

yah Id leave the 4.0 wrap and look alone, its kinda a special item.

But I would forsure make the racecar 3.8 track beast into something personal as you did with the parts. May aswell wrap the track car///

Im sure whatever you do will look great. Have fun and enjoy em both

Time for some attention on the inside of the 4.0...

Since this car deserves something special, we decided on our NEW RSS Bolt-In 1.75" Chromoly 4PT 931 Series Competition Rollbar in White.

The RSS 931 Series Competition Rollbar is very robust and with it's full 'X' crossover design to the rear shock towers, blends perfectly with our recipe for this build. The front legs mount to the chassis floor near the B pillar with supplied underplates and hardware.

A few images...























More to come...

really nice. Love the clean look and It is nice to have incorporated the white into the cabin. Nice and safe now you can rip around without fear of rollin over. Red would have been nice also. Whats the weight of that rollbar?

I love it. keep going

Thanks for the props. I'll be flying out to RSS next week to check on things first hand. That roll bar is hard core not doubt that's for sure.

This roll bar is an "updated" unit from other RSS roll bars that utilizes the X brace in the rear as well as other construction items.
