Are these the same hoops sets that you can get from West Coast Corvettes or East Coast Corvettes?

Thanks!

Hmmm... I don't consider the Z4 (test drove one of those 3.0 dogs before buying the Vette) or the Honda to be "performance verts," and the 3 series aren't sportscars (as the classical definition goes), so I guess that leaves Porsche and whatever else you can think of. I still can't think of any.

the 3 series Vert, I agree, but the other two Z4 and S2000 ARE performance verts to many. Remember, it's not only power that deems a car having good performance. To many, it's a combination of everything and balance. Sure, the Corvettes have "more" performance, but that's not to say that these other cars are not "performance convertibles."

No offense, but no they are not. Look at the post above on the design features of these vs WCC which are epoxied in. We installed many sets at the NCM 10th and the C5/6 bash a few weeks ago.
Not trying to knock WCC cause they have some nice stuff, but we had folks who had WCC hoops and said they wish had gone with ours after seeing ours installed.
Come to the Forum @ the NCM in a few weeks and decide for yourself.
Thanks for the inquiry.
