    OK, I started fastening all these pieces together to prevent anything from flying up at me in the event of an accident. So far, it is all going as planned:

    3/8" anchors:


    There are covers for the bolts:


    They are attached to these blocks that are attached to the false floor, using 3/8" bolts again:


    Height of the bulkhead meets the bottom of the back seats perfectly:


    Angle steel attached to the false floor for the small bulkhead:


    With elongated holes to allow minor adjustments to the height of the small bulkhead to the top of the subwoofer boxes, the Line-X will affect the overall height.

    I am wanting some opinion on this:

    I have been designing this whole system to still have the ability to secure the sunroof in the original location. Here is what I have so far.

    I do not care for how the PVC posts stick out like a sore thumb but I think once coated in Line-X it will not be so bad.

    What say any of you?

    Piece-o-cake:

    Carefully wrap them with carpet/speaker-cloth.
    Ranked No. #1 in initial quality

    Idiots, simply by being idiots, seem capable of achieving randomly bad things that are beyond the imaginings of sensible people.

    Dude, they will be line-x coated, with a black felt pad top or rubber coated. I am asking if the posts sticking up will cheapen the whole install?

    I'd make the posts removable somehow.

    UPDATES!!!!! With Christmas done, year end completed with the financials at the my church, (I am the treasurer and do Payroll), and along with the weather being a little nice....I was able to address the sunroof holders with a MUCH better idea:

    I designed some brackets to hold the front in a similar fashion as the OEM held them before I installed my TecPerfomance rear strut bar.

    A huge shout out to Corey Brabant for helping make these brackets a reality.
