But why paint the roll hoops? Won't they get all dinged and scratched when the car rolls over anyway? Seems like a waste.

That is one particular incident that I hope will never, ever happen

I recall seeing photo's on Z4UM of a red Z4 with the roll hoops painted to match the body color - it sounds a little odd but it really worked.
That said, I have never been a fan of the plastic roll hoop covers to begin with. I think that they cheapen the look of the car. I would prefer a finished metal hoop (either chromed or painted).

I like the look of the hoops. Like you say, it gives it that classic roadster look. I just don't like the cheap plastic covers.

It did turn out pretty well, this is a nice subtle mod - definite improvement

I was just thinking about painting mine last week - on a black car, the silver doesn't "go" as well. Don't the Ms come wtih black rollbars, leather-covered occasionally? I thought black extended leather included them...

Give me fixed roll hoops any day of the week. They make a sports car look much more aggressive. Also, I'd rather not add extra weight for the mechansim, or have another thing on my car that could "potentially" fail and end up decapitated.

Hmmm... undecided on the flatness of the colour. On some cars it looks good, but on others it looks like the owner just primed the car but didn't have the funds to complete the process.

I'm planning to remove mine in the next few days to install the OEM mesh windblocker. I'll post some pics of the bare roll bars.
