They are going to hurt someone with that if anyone actually buys one. It is going to lay over and fall like a house of cards and hit someone just when they really need it. Hey, you can have a dangerous poser piece of crap plus it also fits poorly and blocks your rear view...Bonus! Unless this is to hang your dry cleaning from then

Have you guys seen Monkey Barz that follow seat lines and bend around speakers but don't really attach to anything structural? Lord knows you wouldn't want to put any rollbar padditing on it to cover the cool paint/powder coat. If any person in the automotive aftermarket deserves a sucker punch, whoever thought up this potentially deadly ornamental device deserves it.

Belive this or not, but I actually learned something from a bling bling drag racing oriented magazine. I forgot what the name was, but the author of an article about cages warned of fake and show-style cages and roll bars.

I hope no one buys that roll bar contraption.

it was just a joke seeing that most people use larger diameter exhaust piping (3") for a turbo. i wasn't implying that was their exhaust
