If you ever plan to buy them, then send me a PM cause I've been very interested in the roll-bars for ages. We might get a combined purchase/shipping discount.

But how does it affect the crumple zone Mazda kindly built in to save your life in a front end collision?

very true garry. I was thinking of making something similar out of carbon fibre with a honeycomb core. It is much more rigid but will shatter in the event of a crash - maybe if i cross my fingers and toes.
