Default Roll bars

I've found this car in internet, and I love the roll bars on the trunk.
I already konw they are just decorative bars, but th look is just great.
Anybody knows where to find them? Or similar ones?

There have been numerous roll bars over the years that looked like that.
The one in the picture would render putting up the top- impossible- if it was real.
I'd imaging you could cut some hoops as you want- then bolt them to the panel.

Something like this-your top would still be operational





I've got a 4 point that was on the car when I bought it (1981) - makes the car a lot more rigid being a convertible.
I "frenched" the top panel for it to fit properly-

Thanks Richard.
I already checked the one you placed first. It's for sale at Vettewors, but too expensive, $850
The ones of the burgundy Vette that I placed seem to be decorative and screwed to the panel, so they go up and down together with the panel, and, as I have chcked, if they are screwed at the edge of the panel, the soft top may work perfectly.
But I wonder where those bars (or hoops, that probably is the correct word) are for sale.
Your C3 looks impresive!! Is that a V12? Looks fantastic, and I guess it must fly!!
