    Connectors aren't that bad. It's no different than any other car-crafting project. Take your time, measure twice and cut once.

    I think anyone who installs a bar without connectors in a unibody car is kidding himself.

    Probably not. The terminus for the rear bars in a unibody car is on the sheet metal of the trunk floor. 6" x 6" x 1/8" steel plates are welded to the floor, then the ends of the diagonal braces are welded to the plates.

    Hmmm....
    Where's the main hoop?

    Summit shows it and says in the description that it is included.
