yea it feels alot more stiffer in the rear with the BD rollbar installed. Definately worth the money
getting one.
The guys at mania did a great job installing it, they also fixed the sagging i had with the rear of the NB glass soft top.
looks heaps better now than it did before. Very happy
2 birds, 1 stone =)

Offset Number Plate Bracket:
When i brought the NA it had two little right angle metal brackets which were drilled into the bar under the NA's mouth opening
holding up the number plates - YUCK!
So I started playing around with the OEM H pattern number plate bracket, mounted it the way it was meant to go on.. didn't like it
tried to flip it upside down.. didn't like it, i had an idea of mounting the bracket underneath the car and bending the arms up.. wasn't gonna work
because of the front lip.. meh~!
i started to bend the arms and legs of the H patterned bracket and decided to see how it'll be as an offset bracket.

Re: s2ky_'s NA6
small update:
picked up a wide angle wink mirror from fixmegarage on the weekend.. installed it today
the wink mirrors awesome.. gives you good visibility all round, no more blind spots - especially sometimes its hard to see people in your blindspot area (passenger side) because of the soft top and small window in the back (makes head checks sometimes quite difficult)
now i can see their reflection in the wink mirror popping out from the passenger window!
Also took a couple of random shots.. cars nice and clean =)

Nice ride, woahh that mirror is huge, If I had that in my car I wouldn't be able to see the road, it would be right in my line of site , Glad it works for you

Re: s2ky_'s NA6
Ok, so the cars now gone through a new look..
Decided to full wrap the mx in matte black vinyl. With the help of a mate, working long hours, through freezing cold nights, and a whole heap of cursing at the vinyl, it all finally comes into place.
took a couple of pics thru the change. enjoy, comments and feedbacks welcome =)
Bonnet, A-pillar:
Boot, Fuel Lid:
Front Quarters + Headlight Covers:
Stripped, washed, prepped ready for the vinyl to go on:
Sides: Did the doors + Rear Quarters in one hit
Rear:
Pinstripe bull-horn: Kinda gives it a little hot rod theme, still deciding whether to keep it on or remove it?
any suggestions?
Complete: (besides the mirrors.. haha)

Re: s2ky_'s NA6
Vinyl wrap looks awesome. I'd be going for smoked indicators and reflectors too if it was mine.
