I am also not sold on the bulkhead being weak, as the factory roll hoops are attached to it.

I guess there are pro's and cons to everything.

I actually agree with you and if I had to guess, their hesitation isn’t around the bulkhead per se, rather how the anchor points are attached to it. The bulkhead is probably fine structurally but unlike bolting to the floor, it probably requires way more reinforcement since there’s more lateral force being exerted than their is upwards from the floor. As long as the person doing the install is experienced and knows their stuff I would think it’s fine.
Only thing that sucks for me is there’s so much more trim removal involved with the roadster (i.e. soft top) in order to access the bulkhead.

I’ve read mixed things about CG, mainly the build quality. If you do a google search it’s not uncommon to reports of the plastic housing breaking. Not having one in my hand can’t tell if this is a trivial thing or a potential safety hazard.
