2007 Mustang GT Convertible MRT Light Bar installed with pictures!

[Hotshot]

Installed it all by myself

The back seat was VERY easy to take out, i can't believe it but like 2 minutes top and both the bottom and top section i had out of the car. The plastic trim panels i took my time with, careful not to break anything. I got them all out last night along with the light bar and stored them in a room since i lacked a drill so i had to call it quits for the night. But not before i installed my MRT hood struts

Then today i ran around to 3 stores till i finally found a T-50 torx bit that is needed to remove the rear seat belts. Then i took them out, bolted on the black support bars (in one of the pics) and drill the two extra holes and bolted it all down. The wires were SUPER EASY!!! i am terrible at wiring but CDC made a great kit that was very simple. I just slid the two metal tabs into the proper socket and connected the other end and boom, it worked . I dropped the light bar inbetween the brackets, reassembled everything and tightened it down.

The two-toned MRT light bar is wrapped in leather with charcoal black and vista blue colors. It was $550 and i ordered it on Dec 25th and got it Fed 2nd, but its simply amazing Once the weather clears up and i can get a nicer background i am going to get some photos posted up of my ride on MRT's official website

And pic #4 is just me washing my car in the hanger btw it was 25 degrees outside and i drove 20 miles topless

Looks great. I almost went for a light bar but they are not permitted on the track. Instead I went for a 4 point Autopower roll bar with a cross bar. I am currently looking for a way to cover it.

well basically all the light bar is this kinda of molding stuff that is shaped around the form then hardens into like a thick plastic and then is wrapped in leather. I think you can do something like that to your cage, or at least get it a paint job. A local guy with a Shelby GT and polished whipples has a 4pt cage that is painted blue with silver stripes like the car

We should have a detailing get together. Compare products and techniques.

I want a roll bar! Just makes you feel safer when you go for a spirited drive.

Here is the picture of my bar. It is far enough behind my head so its a non issue for a bumping hazard. Any closer to my head the track officials require a special type of padding on it. The lower cross bar runs across the back seat. It is removal for days when I am putting the kids in the back seat.

I would like it covered. Maybe like Wranglers cover theirs. I am open to ideas.
