How about those massive rear speakers? 
Since I race in a PCA stock class, I can only remove interior parts which would facilitate cage installation. And while I might be able to argue for their removal, my car is actually a little light (don't look, Colin!) so I could use the extra mass. Right now, it weighs about 2,950 lbs dry--and that's with a cage and spare!

You should consider welding a flat pieces of stock to the the floorpan that "supports" to the side rails. The way it is now just doesn't look that strong.

Safety Devices definitely has a better design and I used to own one but replaced it because it did not meet the specifications imposed by NASA. I had an older one and it was not thick enough, I believe 10 mil vs the required 12 mil, and it lacked a diagonal brace in the plane of the main hoop. I'm sure you could weld is such a piece but for those looking for a solution that's good out of the box, the Autopower bar is a good option for NASA and PCA.
If you have any plans to race, you should always review the rule book of the appropriate sanctioning body prior to making such a purchase. I believe the SD bar is good for PCA racing but, again, make sure the specs meet the stated requirements.
