I have a Librands on my 2002 plus8.
Fitted by Williams. Took a day and a half.
I have the studded hood and no problems with fit.
The mounting frame is not too obtrusive in the rear shelf. Fitted Hillsalive cases may not fit though. I still get the 2 dogs in with no problems!
It has stiffened the car a bit too,
It comes with a bolt on bar for a 4 point harness and a race spec upper can be bolted in place of the standard.
