I'm thinking of participating in a couple of ITT events this season. I want to pick up a set of clip on bars to use on my road bike. I have these models in mind:

Profile Design Jammer GT
Profile Design Jammer CGT
Oval Slam TT
Syntace C2

Can you give me the advantages/disadvantages of any of the above models? Are they generally easy to remove/install? Any ITT tips for a beginner? Thanks.

Any of the 'Slam' style bars (so either the profiles or Oval's) I've used the Profile's in the past and my favorite part is that you can replace the bars with anything you like (I switched to a home-made S-bend setup). Wouldn't bother going carbon unless you have an urge to bling.
