It took exactly one week. You should have tracking number with an estimated delivery date...

 

nice first mod

 

Cutting and drilling isn't the hard part. Hardest part was fitting/trimming all the panels. I left my friend to trim the panels when I helped him install his ELDA bar as I was lacking sleep and didn't want to have to buy him panels to replace.

 

Very cool... Something I'm looking forward to doing also.

 

 

I installed mine in Feb 07. True dat the most time-consuming part of the install is fitting/trimming/refitting/retrimming/etc./etc. of the plastic pieces.

The bar fits *very* well, clearing the convertible mechanism by ~1/8" on either side. Very visually unobtrusive, I can't even see any part of it in the rearview (mine has no diagonal, removable harness bar).

Here's my car with the Hard Dog bar. I kept the stock hoops and plastic covers to minimize the visual impact of it and to keep it more stock-looking.

 

I really would like a hard dog bar with the welded diagonal, and welded harness bar but also retain all stock stuff (ie- roll hops and center concole, ect)
