Correct if I'm wrong but if carbon shatters wouldn't it be sharp shards. Hate for that carbon rollbar to poke a hole from the back of my head thru my eye. Have they actually tested it ie crash test it. Mike

Melbourne area, central East coast. Orbit or Zotz racing are close enough. Has anyone had them install a roll bar?

Thanks

I'm at Orbit tomorrow (Corner balance, brake fluid, oil change.), they did not install my roll bar, but everything they do is top notch and very knowledgable. High end full service shop, call the, or better stop by and see for your self.

I do not know Zotz.
