Default Hoops For C5 Convertible

IM LOOKING FOR A METAL FABRICATOR OR BUSINESS WHERE I CAN PLACE A SMALL ORDER. I READ ON THE FORUM OF A COUPLE MEMBERS WHO FABRICATED THEIR OWN HOOPS. ANYONE KNOW WHO THEY ARE OR IF ANY MEMBER KNOWS OF A BUSINESS THAT MAKES THESE IN CUSTOM SIZES. IVE SEEN THESE ONLINE AND THINK THE PRICES ARE OUTRAGIOUS
ANY SUGGESTIONS?? THANKS, SHERRY

IM INTERESTED !!!! WHAT IS THE DIAMETER OF THESE. COULD I INTEREST YOU IN MAKING ME A PAIR. HOW DID YOU DO THE COVERING. DID YOU BEND THE PIPING OR DID YOU HAVE IT DONE.
IF YOUR INTERESTED, WHAT WOULD YOU CHARGE ME FOR A PAIR?? I NEED THEM PRETTY QUICK AS I WILL BE PUTTING A CLEAR PIECE OF LEXAN IN FRONT OF THEM. ATTACHING IT WITH CLEAR VELCRO STRAPPING. IM MAKING A CUSTOM WIND BLOCKER. I THINK ITS A GREAT IDEA. I CURRENTLY HAVE A WIND BLOCKER MADE FROM LEXAN THAT ATTACHES TO ME SEATS BUT DONT LIKE THE WAY IT LOOKS WHEN I HAVE TO MOVE THE SEAT FORWARD. ALTHOUGH THE LEXAN IS ABLE TO FLEX, I THINK IT LOOKS LIKE CRAP. THE HOOP IDEA SEEMED LIKE A GREAT SOLUTION FOR ME. THE WINDBLOCKS THAT HAVE TO BE REMOVED IS WAY TO MUCH TROUBLE.
HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON.
THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY. SHERRY
DO YOU HAVE A PHOTO WITH THE HOOPS INSTALLED IN YOUR CAR. LOVE TO SEE IT !!!!
