I am wondering if anyone can help me with roll over seat hoops to suit C5 convertible. I am looking for seat hoops that are functional and would work and not the " LOOKS ONLY " type. THANKS.

If roll over protection is what you mean by functional your best bet would be a roll bar. For seat hoops to be functional they would have to be attached to a frame rail, have at least a third attachment (brace bar from top of hoop rearward), and be tall enough to be higher than your head when you are hanging from the seat belt (about as high as the windshield header)

Most are considered "functional" when bolted in but they bolt to the fiberglass deck. I wouldn't really consider that funtional in a real crash/rollover.
Most (if not all) racing organizations also do NOT consider them functional.
If you are going to go that way, and consider them more than just bling (like mine), at least make sure they are high enough to be over your head. There is a very fine line there though before they will interfere with the top.
