    Done? We are never "done" my friend. I'm not a hardtop guy (don't need to be where I live) but I am jealous of yours.

    You are completely correct sir The part when I mentioned "done" was referring from being "done" from the mechanic. But in the meantime the car is going back to him. Installing the following:

    - HardDog RollBar
    - 1.8 Rear Brackets
    - 1.8 Rear Discs
    - Carbotech XP10

    I could do that in my garage, but unfortunate I don΄t have time for it. So will drop it off Saturday and picking it up on Tuesday i guess.

    I really have not updated the topic with pictures from some upgrades that are arriving. I have received my Schroth 6 points harnsess to fit with my Elise Seats with custom brackets, although will not install them until December when I will receive my Exige Carbon Fiber Seats with harness holes.
    Anyway, I will let here a picture of my Radiator carbonfiber cover purchased from Maxim @ Rev9.

    Looks nice!! You can really see how much "thinner" the Elise seats are than the stock seats. Really opens up the interior!

    I would love to have some red Lotus seats. Also, I like how far back that Ace roll bar sits. That looks like a great roll bar for a daily driver.

    If you have already a set you could pain them. Mine were cream, but with some love and hard work are now black, and no one would tell that they were another color from factory. Are they hard to come by in the USA? Regarding the RollBar, my favorite design would be the GT6 Motti makes, but I would need to ship it to over here, and the cost would be more that 1000€. And to be honest I can΄t justify that. So this one was the chosen, it΄s my 2nd favorite. I can use full seat travel and when I seat on it my head is 2 Inches below the rollbar. Just need to find time to install the 6 point harness to be on the safe side.

    I could be wrong, but I think the demand exceeds the supply of Lotus seats here in the US. So the price is higher than I want to pay. Okay, higher than my wife will let me pay

    I agree that the roll bars that Moti makes look fantastic. If I were to get a roll bar, I'd likely get the Hard Dog Deuce with side braces.
