to my knowledge, no one makes one like that.

As for real roll bars in the verts, you'll have a lot of trouble getting one up high enough to actually work while still allowing the top to function. put a broomstick above the driver between the windshield and rollbar and it should clear your head by 2"

Like I said, I havn't found a vendor that has em. BUT...if you look through pics of the C5 pace cars you'll eventually find some of the convertible with the light bar mounted to this thing. Also I've seen a Vert in my area that had one. Unfortunately I was late for work or I'd have followed him and found out where he got it.
