If you do it right, you can remove them, or put them back in, and just cap the holes, at your convenience....

Whilst it isn't impossible, the chances of turning a Cobra over are pretty slim I think, unless you're a complete numpty. I'm sure you'll be fine.

I wonder how many of the roll bars fitted would actually stand up to being tested in a real world situation.

To be clear, the prices quoted above are for a pair of light units, not each.

The likelihood of significant injury from BFT to the noggin from smacking it in to the roll bar (either you or your passenger, because you came to a sudden stop from hitting something else) is much, much higher.

That's a good look Patrick. Although I know no original Cobra left SA wearing that color (and Rodknock aside) I like it.

Well, thank you. Not too long ago, I was stopped coming off the interstate by a state trooper who, when he came up to me in the car, said "the only reason I pulled you over is that this is the most beautiful car I have ever seen and I wanted to get a closer look." True. I know RodKnock will give me crap about it, but true it is.

I had this pad made for my rollbar for exactly this reason. If I get rear-ended, I still want to see my kids grow up....



Nick liked it so much, he now sells it as a product.
