I have a gr8tops half hard top. In their instructions they say by cutting the rear kickers off the factory cage the body will flex quite a bit, and that some sort of cage needs to be fabbed to reduce/control body flex.
I thought of a rear roll/sport cage, but I don't think it's needed the way I want to go.
I saw this set up at gr8tops site and really like the set up. It SHOULD be fairly simple as it's just square tube and angle pieces with some 45 degree cuts and some bolt holes drilled.
My main question is will the following setup address any body flex or is it more for show?
here's the pics.

First pic. I want to attach the two sides along the back under the rear glass like so (in green)

I guess first I'd like to hear if it will help with body flex, then I'd like to find someone who'd be able to do this for me for cash money American.
