Probably not, and if they do, expect it to be extremely overpriced. (read: $500+)

I think at least a single hoop or full 6 to 8 point roll bar looks SO much better than a 'style' bar. Around the same price too...

back onto subject... yes they are working on it, the bar has been done and it's just waiting to be covered in the padding and vinyl, there is no release date yet and the price hasn't been set yet but should be comprable to the 4th gen one and mustang one!!

Might be on to something........

I work at a Ford Dealership in Florida and I saw this topic and got to thinking...... We sell Roush parts and was looking at there styling bar. Now I need to do some more in depth looking but I believe it will work. I will keep all posted with my conclusions.

Just an update, everything looks good so far. I am going to take one home this weekend and see what I can come up with. There might be a height issue the bars on the side of the top may be a problem too. I will let everyone one know on Tuesday or over the weekend.

Oh, yeah it will work, I just have to see where to mount it so it doesnt disturb the top. I had it all aligned and it looked great. I just got to tear down the inside and see where to mount it.

Sorry guys I havent responded. I have been still working on it but got caught up with work and my oldest son who is sick and havent been able to tear down the back to see if it will mount. But from other light bar posts, it looks like the ROUSH one is just as expensive as what these other companies are. IE: for a mustang customer the bar is $486 list and $240 to install it.
