There was a question as to a source for the roll bars on the XKR in Die Another Day. These are apparently an aftermarket product and were also used on a custom XKR in 2002 from Rocket Sports Racing in East Lansing MI, 517-337-2600. I could not find a source on them, but you could call RSR and probably find out. It is interesting to note, both the DAD Bond XKR and the RSR custom do not have functional tops. From looking at the pictures, this is probably not a function of the roll bars but the rear seat treatment on both. My guess is this rear seat delete is the same on both cars with some cosmetics applied.

PS. Sent an inquiry to RSR via their Facebook page, will pass on the response.

Fair warning, you'll never get these rollbars. I tried for months to get them and modify to fit (quite extensively modified as shown. Basicly the entire top, bolsters and seats have to go.) but the company said they only made a few sets and no longer make. They actually never made for the public.
My brother started making me something similar in welded steel but we've gotten sidetracked. Mine would be more decorative and clear the top. Maybe we will finish them. I did get my rear seat delete finished. Best thing I did.
