Hi everybody Brian from Steeda, featuring the Classic Design Concepts Light Bar
for the Mustang S550 convertible model years 2015 and later.
When it comes to the Mustang it has always been an eye catcher and anytime you remove the top
from something like a Mustang well it gets a lot of attention and one of the things about the long
sleek look of the S550 in particular is well the convertible kind of needs something to break
up that long flat back three quarters of the car and the Classic Design Concepts Lightbar is a
perfect blend of adding some structural rigidity and some fashion to the car. Let's talk a little
bit more about the fashion. The model that we have behind us is a Carbon Fiber model and yes
Classic Design Concepts does in fact use genuine carbon around the outside of this. Through the inside of
it is actually a steel tubular core but more on that in just a moment. They also offer standard
black version like you see in Rod's car and this is similar to the black foam that you find on the
dash panel. So it has a very much an OEM feel, so if you want a little bit more style to it you
can go with the Carbon Fiber version, a little more subtlety go with the classic black version.
One of the other benefits of the Lightbar is it increases chassis rigidity in the convertible.
It does this because of that tubular steel piece that goes all the way through from one end to
the other and mounts to the very outsides of the interior cabin. This is really important because
again anytime you can keep the car stiffer it's going to make for a better driving experience
more enjoyable experience so it's not just form it's also function as far as this is concerned.
Aside from the color and material options, you also have the choice of with a brake light as
this car has or no brake light for an ultra clean look. Now most of us prefer the additional brake
light because when the top is down anytime you have added illumination letting somebody know
that you're stopping or slowing down is of benefit especially here in South Florida. Really anywhere
around the world where you're enjoying your car always better to have a little extra safety.
The other cool feature about the additional brake light is that when the top is up that
brake light is no longer active. So you don't have an odd reflection along your roof liner.
It goes off when the tops up and is only active or only goes on when the top is down, pretty
cool stuff. Another great thing about Classic Design Concepts is they probably manufacture
all of their pieces 100 percent in the USA and of course you know that Steeda well we stand behind
that as well. If you like the look of this light bar or considering it, definitely comment below.
If you've already installed it and want to post some helpful tips, definitely also post below again
we know that our viewers really enjoy seeing these comments and speaking of installation if
you're considering this piece definitely recommend reading the instructions a few times ahead of time
because it is complex and fairly slow moving. It's also important to have a second set of
hands when you're ultimately installing the Light bar itself. Another thing to note is the interior
trim panels two of them in particular need to be trimmed so if you're worried about this going
forward maybe you're planning to trade the car in in a few years when the next model comes out,
visit your local Ford dealership and pick up a couple of extra OEM panels. We definitely recommend
professional installation because some holes do need to be drilled into the structure of the car
to obviously properly mount the bracket and the Lightbar and if you choose the version
with the brake light keep in mind they also have to splice into the factory wiring harness. Again
professional installation, highly recommend for this piece. Although this improves chassis rigidity
please keep in mind it is not to be used as a roll bar. It's not approved for most of your local
track day events. So definitely reach out to them first if you're looking to do that reach out to
us and we can help you get set up with the proper equipment for that. All right as far as the Light
bar is concerned this thing is absolutely stunning looking in this car as you see in Julio's car
and as you see in Rod's car. Just absolutely breaks up that rear three quarters of the car
and is another aesthetic to the Mustang that well it doesn't need much help but this is one of those
things just really sets it off, perfectly. If you enjoyed the content of this video please click
