Ok. Since expecting the OEM rollbars to do anything in a rollover except determine exactly where your head would be severed (~ ear height), it really wouldn't bother me that these are not TUV approved.

The OEM's aren't approved for USA track use either-too short.

I don't mean to be a smartass. I just find it ludicrous. Picture this if you will:

Drive off the edge of the road at speed. Car starts to roll. Seatbelt locks up, pinning you to the seatback unable to duck. My head sticks 4" above the OEM rollbars.

The rest of this movie should be easy to visualize...if not for the faint-hearted.

You should see my son in this car-he's MUCH bigger than me.
