Default Chrome Roll Bars ?

Any of you guys ever installed the "fake" chrome bars on your verts? Any ideas how difficult this is to do and where would be the best place to buy a set?

TIA

It's an easy install.. you just use JBWeld or epoxy to glue it to the humps behind your seat.

Did you cut the carpet? (I assume you would have to.)

Oh yes indeed I did. It was pretty easy, there's threads you have to do a search in the archives section.

Fake? I didn't know they had them. How much are they and where do you get them? Would you mind posting a few pics for all of us.

I installed mine myself using Liquid Nails Construction Adhesive. Pretty easy job. Just make sure your put a towel or something like it between the bars and the closed tonneau top while the glue is drying to make sure there is room for it to clear them when opening/closing. Also, I didn't want to screw up the carpet, and I know I would have, so I took it to a local upholstery shop and hed them finish the carpet after the install.
