Looks great; really like to see the top and latch mechanism, even if it's not painted, just to see how it fits and works.

I assume the car isn't driven much, as a shoe piece, but have you found any noticable loss in rigidity? I don't recall if you added extra bracing or not...

car is an 03 with under 10,000 on it

Bracing was added through out car people assumed it wasn't and we let people who think they know talk all they want here is what we know we did it lol. Notice no diffrent i driving it no body sag no changes except lookin good sitting next to another z car when they look over and there jaw drops to the ground.

Sweet; glad you guys did it right and not just for show. How much weight do you figure the extra bracing added?

Only drawback I see is he issue of roof storage, if this was going to be a practical app. Any way to fit it inthe back?

After we get everything figured out e can go from there but Im not posting on this site we are going to offer th\is service etc I got jumped from manydiffrent angles I would have to become a sponser etc etc So that turned us off pretty big felt like the bored didn't want us to show what we did but that being said everything is possiable we did this one for us and did not plan on makeing a targa holder or weigh the braceing etc we didn't build it to build again so we didn;t add all that up but it's all stuff that could be done again. the braceing in this car would differ from other because we have the stereo in this one

I used to have the older model XXX 12". I ran it on 1800 watts and it still wanted more...the brahmas however sound awesome on 800-1200 watts, so I'm not sure where you are getting your information...also mine weighed 52lbs.
