Coming up is a pic of the piddly Brumby side intrusion bar

Not the best comparison pic, but it is half the one of above, maybe even a thinner gauge ??

Yeah the coupe had the beefed up side intrusion bars due to the pillar-less design of the coupe's body - the door needed more reinforcing to withstand a side impact from what I understand.

The glass is an annoying thing IMO - but probably necessary to get the rear glas pieces to tuck all the way in the body when fully open for a clean pillar-less look ;)
