I had never given that any thought although I generally have not been known to build on any of my street vehicles with the express intentions of crashing them. I realized this is true because none of them are adorned with exterior full roll cages, head-ache racks, schedule 200 water pipe bumpers or even feather pillows bungied or duct taped to them!!!

Years ago, I did build a motorcycle with a full roll cage so falling over repeatedly was really no problem. Perfect for the clumsy or drunk types.


all in good fun.... so..... if by some freakish chance it proves truly impossible, I could always have the local high school kids make some fine fiberglass custom units.

There are stainless colored paints on the market, but I'm not aware that anyone has achieved satisfying results by using one on the stock covers.
