I think I like the one pictured above better than the one Corvette Central sells. The square tube just does not look good up there.

Are these being made again and if so, who's selling them?

Tom Gaspar makes them. 216-316-9812. He does this as a side business so he is hard to reach at times. Leave a message and he will call you back. $475 shipped. I just received mine last month and it is fantastic.

There is nothing you can put under the car that will be as effective as the roof truss. It's a matter of leverage.
