Default Who sells seat hoops/sport bars ?

Other than Midamerica or Ecklers ?

I'm trying to figure out why there is such a difference in price:

I just recieved a set that I bought on E-bay- best price I could find anywhere. They look exactly like the ones West Coast Corvette sells for $399. Here's the Ebay item number 8052505361 you can check them out and E-mail the vender - he's a Corvette owner.

Contact Steve @ Matukas Motorsports. By far they have the highest quality and good looking hoops out there. They have been designed to follow the seat contour and are 2" tubing with show quality chrome. And best of all they are screwed in, not glued/epoxied.
Many, many sets sold/installed at various Corvette events and all comment how much nicer they look than the "pyramid" shaped ones out there.
Cost is $500.00 not the cheapest but, by far, the best. 270 842-4409

P. S. They'll be at Carlisle this year and will be installing as well.

Anyone have pictures of these? I also have not liked the typical pyramid / narrow styles I commonly see. I wantr a set that have a beefier look.

The Matukas hoops are definitely the best, IMO. Here is the only shot I have, on my coupe.
