Thanks for the pics Cossie! Where did it not line up, and what did you need to do to 'finesse' it into place?

problems

The people at M2 gave me a few tips

Install the rear bars first, then tip the main loop and let them join up.

It helps to prep the area where the main hoop bolts the the car. Remove all the paint sound proofing. It will help to line it up. Ever little piece of space counts.
If you get the diagonal bars, make sure you have it on before you install the main hoop. When in 'push' the main loop in, the hoop tightens up...so...(ask me how I know!!)

Everything lines up well. Rem to instal the panels. The M2 roll bar is designed to give a stock look. All the side panels(one with the map pocket) should be installed when you install the hoop. (Again, ask me why I know)

It shouldnt be too difficult. All the bolts and little pieces are included the price.

Check the M2 website.

I think they have a few more roll bars in stock.

You lose a little seat space. But its fine for me.
