Default Hoops on a 'vert?

I'm considering putting hoops on my 2001 'vert, but I'm not sure what it will look like.

Does anyone have hoops on their 'vert? Do you like 'em? Would you please post pics?

Thanx!

I've got them in my 04 CE Vert and they look awesome. Of course I'm prejudiced because we mfg. them. Suggest you stay away from the glue in kind though. Just my .02 worth.

If you have the chance, put them in. They seem to complete the look of the convertible. When I see verts without them, its like something is missing.

I seem to get more compliments on the car since they went in.

Here are a couple more pics.

Like Barry White said:

"Too much of anything is no good for you, baby."

The same applies to non-functional chrome bling.

But then again, in the interest of fair play, Sly Stone was overheard to decree:

"Different strokes, for different folks. And so on and so on and shoobie doobie doobie...

I was wanting a set of those but it looks like your seat back wont recline all the way back without hitting them and losing some recline angle.Are there different kinds.
