likewise. the air turblence just by having the t-tops open is enough to lose performance.

mabe not much but when we are all trying to gain 1 hp here and their. pressing the top up button makes the most sense

I took the back seats out after this pic, but heres whats back there
My a/c compressor is gone, along with my heat and everything under the dash. The padding and sound deadener under the carpet is gone too. Im going to a metal shop this week to see about getting that plate made. I'll let everyone know how it turns out.

the brake lines are not in the way if you drill properly. I didnt have any problems installing mine. There are plates that go under the car as well that the cage bolts to. Plenty of clearance for the brake lines. If I was home I would take pics for you, but I am in Iraq, sorry.
