Looks really good.
I didn't have to trim my windshield pieces.
Mine still hasn't moved since I installed it, so I really happy about the purchase. I'm waiting for it to warm up so I can Duplicolor the stock rollcage.

I could maybe see not cutting the pieces that are vertical on the sides of the windshield IF you installed them before the cage or while the windshield was folded down but the top corner pieces that hold the visors woulod have never gone back on without trimming.
Did you do the floor tie in kit? If so did you also have to put those in place beore the side pannels? I agree it is a Great kit and I really feel better knowing that just in case
it is there!!!

Could you post a few more pics of the floor mount pieces. I am interested in where the bolts come out under the jeep and exactly how it bolts to the rest of the dash portion of the cage. When I pre-ordered mine I did not opt for the floor pieces. I'm trying to judge if the extra is worth the piece being hit by your foot all the time.

I can't take new pictures b/c I am already back in Afghanistan trying to earn money for the next round of mods
but here are a couple pictures I already had and the top portion of the floor mount pieces use the same bolts that are in the door pinch seam.....the bolts just go through the dash section and instead of putting a nut on the back side, the floor mount pieces are tapped to receive the bolt and tighten all the pieces together.
Judging by where the floor mount pieces are on the floor you should be able to walk out to your jeep and see approximately where they would come out or maybe someone else can take that picture?
Given its location I never bumped my foot on it, it is tucked in there pretty well and most of it is covered by the trim panel so unless you trip on your trim panels you should be fine..

The door pinch seam is a hardy part of the body, if the floor piece is not above such a structural part all it is going to do is cookie cut a piece out of the floor upon impact. If i could see my or any JK that would answer it in a heartbeat.
On R&R i'm home such a short time I don't have time to order parts so i have a pile of stuff waiting on me when I get there.
