Default Roll Bars

Hi, I'm wondering if there are any upgrades for S2000 roll bars? I am not looking for a roll cage, per se, just a nicer, alluminum style, similar to the older Audi TT.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

If you're absolutely positive this is what you want, you can crack the plastic casing off of your roll hoops and you'll find some more raw looking bars (TT-esque) underneath. But you will not have good success if you have to put the casings back on as they are melted together at the factory and do not go back together well at all.

Thanks for the imput. Do you happen to have pics of what they look like under the casing? Have you done this before? Thanks.

They're just steel bars, something like 2.5" in diameter, painted black.

Well, here's a picture I have of a burned up S. You can see the roll bars clearly, albeit burned and crispy. Sorry, it's all I have...

My car is currently being stripped. I can take photos tonight. I know there's pictures on S2Ki, if you search, though.

it would be kinda nice but a custom job if the lower parts of the plastic casing were cut and molded to blend into the factory roll hoops and the upper portion was exposed
