That is a beautiful color. I agonized over the roll bar question and did a lot of reading. Statistically, roll overs are pretty rare and getting rear ended is much more common. With the low back seats the presence or absence of a roll bar just leads to a different injury. If the wife wants them then they’re well worth it for that reason alone. I was fortunate that all my wife wanted was heated seats. Good luck with the rest of the build.

Sound reasoning. Roll bars that are in range of your cranium are far more likely to do you in with blunt force trauma in a regular traffic mishap than to protect you (and yours) in a rollover. I do love the OP's paint color though - the car should look stunning.
