How about some T-bars that follow the shape of the rear apron? Almost all T-bars I've seen aren't slanted enough in the back. Just my opinion.

Danny, I'll send you a pic of my bars, they are pretty close to the body, about 2" off the sheet metal and it makes a big diff. (BETTER)

  I got an old set on my car and I like how they sit, but I'd be interested in some possibly. I'd like to see the #'s when you have the time. Have you done any yet?

I might make some from acrylic! I think Art Thraen had a set on his race car and said that the full set weighed less than one steel one! Shocked But brushed stanless would look very cool.

They just don't protrude way out, they hug the body better.

stainless once polished is unbeatable for durability,alum oxadize's more rapid and scratch's, alum lighter and cheaper,material price wise

I had Craig Parks make these up for about $75.00. They look nice, but they do scratch easy and are a pain to keep shiny.
