My 07 was stock when i bought it in March. Today i was cleaning my interior and got to looking, my stock roll hoops are glued together in the little crease. So why would somebody have opened them?

sometimes though this is not common, the plastic housing cover comes unstuck and won't stay together properly, this could have happened as the fix is to glue it.

Could it be possible the previous owner was trying to get to the speakers that are mounted in the roll hoops?

idk, see my point was to find out if say any aftermarket parts required that to be removed, say a roll bar or roll cage. The man i bought it from was in his 40s but he seemed somewhat suspicious, like in the back of my mind i said to myself he has drove the piss out of this car. The main thing was when i was test driving it i got on it in 1st and redlined it and shifted to 2nd and then drove normal again, he said he had nvr seen it driven that hard and man you are driving it harder than i ever did the whole time i owned it. Now normally i might believe him BUT why did he buy a sports car if he never drove it fast? Anyway i thought he couldve just turned it back to stock and sold it to me.

well i dont everyday or anything. If you were test driving a car wouldnt you get on it at least once to be sure it ran ok and to see what it would do? Anywho i did, i just cant see why he would have said all that, multiple times.
