Anyone seen a "Toadster" cover put on a Roadster? The type of hard
cover that extends from the seat backs and covers the opening, usually
painted to match the car. A custom double hump roll bar in chrome would
also look stellar. I've contemplated getting out some fiberglass and
trying to make one...anyone else.

That's just in a rollover. And depending on the car's postion and
direction
of travel, could land on the rear corner of the vehicle while upside
down
and take the initial impact. In that situation, I'd rather have my head
poking past the line of the bar to the hood than the line from the
windshield to the trunk. Too many varibles to say it won't provide any
protection. And I'd rather have some protection than none. I'm also
looking for the bar to protect me from the guy who runs a red light and
slams into the side of the door.
Or the jacked up SUV that fails to stop and decides to play monster
truck.
