    I was always curious about this. What are the hoops behind the headrests on the 360/430 made out of, and do they provide any rollover protection or are they just for looks? Thanks in advance.

    Protection. Assuming your head is lower the an imaginary line between the windscreen cowling and the head-hoop.

    You'll also notice that the pillars on the windshield have integrated roll-bars in them as well. Go ahead and feel how thick & heavy they are next time your in the car. The 360 is a big advancement in driver safety from the 355...one of the reasons I moved up to it.
