I've seen worse cosmetic mods. I'd take these over the multi-colored amusement park ride interiors I see so often on here. I can't say I would buy them, but I can't say I wouldn't. As for the safety factor, if you roll a convertible, real or not, you're gonna lose some skull cover. A standard seatbelt won't keep you in the safe spot.
