STR legality with roll bar
I'm trying to sort out if my car is actually class legal for STR in SCCA solo. I somewhat recently installed a Rockstar Garage double diagonal roll bar, which in turn has the lowered harness bar. What I'm trying to figure out here is how much of my interior do I NEED back in? I've essentially got everything back in except for the plastics that previously housed the factory roll hoops and the rear tray(or is it a parcel shelf?). The plastics that once housed the hoops don't really have much of a chance of making it back into the car as a lot of the rear section of both sides meet up with where just about every tube of the roll bar intersect on each side. The tray(or shelf), isn't in only because finding a solid mounting solution that doesn't result in more rattling hasn't been found. The weight of the roll bar versus what I removed should theoretically keep me legal as the weight of the bar is more than what was actually removed. That being the rear tray, roll hoops(and associated plastics), along with the plastic portions that were notched to fit the roll bar. Just trying to limit protest-able offenses in an otherwise under prepared car prior to running the national tour at Crows Landing in two weeks.
This hasn't been a problem in local events, but I've only run a handful since the roll bar was installed.
Thanks for any help or insight.

that's the stage I had hoped to make it to. I don't know why, but getting whats left of the roll hoop covers back into the car doesn't seem feasible. the harness bar seems to fall right where the lower rear part of the cover needs to be. And I run a harness in my car, so the driver side for sure can't go as it affects the harness routing. Although I'm curious, how did you get the roll hoop halves to stay together?
The outside of the halves is just superglue. The inside, I'm not sure, as I wasn't involved. A friend of mine did most the work, and cut the holes for the Rollbar with a dremmel, as well as the back half of the secret compartment. He glued some felt in there so stuff wouldn't fall out.
I'm not running harnesses tho, if that helps explain it - just the Modifry switch that locks both the lap and shoulder belt of the OEM seatbelt. Maybe harnesses later, but it's still my daily driver as of now.

does the outer most part of the rear half cut just straight down from where it is in the picture, or did he keep the portion that connects to the other plastic interior piece?
I'm probably just going to deal with being protested.. I'm probably not likely to finish in the trophies anyway. haha.
