    One thing I noticed was with your side intrusion cross bar from the rear loop to the front legs, it comes from the hoop to almost the floor, how come you didnt have it higher or have a "cross" bar "X".

    I guess it gives more strength but what about safety, a corner front nose could still come through and get you in the leg ? Then no more accelerator tapping for you.

    Hmm, I don't see how a front nose could possibly wedge itself over the side intrusion and down to where my front rollcage legs are, which is covering a good part of my 'accelerator tapping leg'.

    In addition, it makes it harder getting in if I had it higher, and yes, less strength. Also, if I had mounted it higher, it would be contacting my knee, so if a front nose did creep up, it'd probably smash the bar, including smashing my knee together, and be trapped in the seat. SEXY TIME!

    I would rather Jump over a bar now and then, and have some padding against the cage then possibly never walk again, but thats just me.

    Since I probably won't be out on the track until the engine is running on song... I chucked the lip back on.. Makes the front looks so much more complete..

    Ah, where are you heading to? If your planning on getting the lip through Toyota just make sure you give them a part number and a chassis number, or they'll give you a hard time obtaining the part...
