...what? you're making another pair of fiberglass rollhoops for me? how sweet. how much are you asking for? I'm not a wealthy kid. Also, I have a 06, so what are the possibilities of poking holes into where the headrest speakers are?
Wow, back from the dead on this one. I am currently working on getting my Shine bumper painted and fabricating a splitter and grille for it, I have also cast an aluminum trim plate for the shifter...so I have been busy. Just not on these hoops. I'm also working on renderings for a few members. I was really frustrated at these damn roll hoops, so they have been moved to a backburner for a bit. I also felt a bit like a tease for posting all the in-process pics and never getting them to work out how I wanted to post the final shots. I will post up pics when I am all done and they are installed. I'm just not sure when that is going to be.

I am going to cast them in fiberglass and could make more if you were interested, but you would have to cut your current ones to make them fit. If you would like to try this, PM me.

I was just speaking in general and I read your post for the first time.

Alright you guys, here we go. I have sanded all the paint and primer off of the roll hoops. (less fun than you might imagine since the chrome paint is not acetone soluble..) and I am going to laminate fiberglass on it on Tuesday. I will post pics tomorrow, and then it is on the fun part, finishing the hoops, but I am committed.

On to the finish!
