Scroll down a bit and you'll find a hoop post. You install a rollbar in a coupe and hoops on a vert.

Hooped up!

Vette Essentials wrapped them to match the rest of their leather.

I will take a Big Mac, Large Fry and a Coke and a Kids meal with a Toddler toy and a Milk.

Sorry you are driving a McDonalds Restaurant when you have the hatch up!

Are those just for asthetics, or are they also for safety?

I would like to know this too... though I assume they are mostly, if not completely, aesthetic.

This just mean more weight to me. It looks good in a vert (only function), but silly in a coupe.
