OK, let's do an experiment: In your browser search bar, enter "nerf bars" and see what you get.
Not exactly what you were thinking, is it?
Now try entering "Hot Rod Nerf Bars"
A little more like it? If you want to find the "proper" Nerf Bar look, forget about sports car forums - go to the "Hokey-Ass Message Board" (which was started back in the 1980's) and see what the Hot Rod guys are running.
