- I believe I was the thread starter when I asked about removing the roll bar my 67 MGB. I agree, a roll bar detracts from the appearance. I ultimately removed it and filled the holes with rubber plugs

- Too much of a generality. The bolt-on "roll bars" from the normal vendors are 70% looks and 30% protection and provide nil structural strength. The race car boys weld in mutli-point bars and then you
