You're fooling yourself. Safety is NOT a harness bar. A roll hoop with harness mounts is safety. No different than street driving a car with a cage. It's idiotic to drive in a car with a cage if you're not wearing a helmet. The cage that is supposed to protect you will only kill you when you smash your head into it (which would never happen if the cage were not there.)

Sorry I misread it. If you don't put harnesses on it, and use it for a camera mount, it's all good. If you put harnesses on it, it's a death trap.
And we need not talk about "what if" because I've already road raced motorcycles and I get the whole risk vs. potential injury thing. Just saying if you run harnesses on the bar, you're making a mistake. Unless this is just for visual performance and you have no intention of putting the harnesses on while driving.

Thanks to my buddy for smoothing out and prepping the wing for paint. looks great and pearl/color matches perfectly which is rare. PPG paint and clear. clear texture matches perfectly too.

i used this 3m surround tape, same tape used with the toms diffuser for more of an oem look plus it does't scratches up the oem paint. i know toyota uses a big version of this with their oem lip kits.

Is the PPG paint you used more chip resistant than the OEM paint? Just curious because I need to respray the front of my car and want to use something more durable than the OEM stuff.
