I purchased them directly from Germany as no one in the states carries them, even Startech. I love the look and despite what some will say they should provide some level of safety. After all they are bolted right to the rear bulkhead.

This guy recently posted that he was selling a set. Give him a try.

They look the best of all the aftermarket roll hoops but really, how much saftey do you think they will add?....they are fastend to sheet metal with small diameter bolts.

The Startech roll hoops are asthetically pleasing no doubt but sure wouldn't personally count on them much for added safety. Need a rollbar for that...

Sheet metal? Small Diameter bolts? They are inserted roughly 6 inches into the midsection of the car which is extremely strong. Therefore the stock hoops are the only week link. Contruction of the Startech hoops is quite impressive and certainly top notch. They are not just made for looks. While there is no replacement for an full roll bar for extreme measures, I really think these bars provide an added level of safety however I do not plan on testing them anytime soon.

You're talking about these right? And they bolt in the same location as the factory hoops?
