Default Chrome seat hoops

Any input on difficulty of installation and best bang for the buck

I like the look and may do them for a winter project.

Just as long as you realize they are for looks only. They do not have the strength to function as true roll bars.

I bought my chrome hoops from WCC a couple years ago. No problem putting them in. They recommend epoxy and that's what I used. I spaced mine out from the deck cover with pens. They've gotten more compliments than I would have guessed.
