I think that's where that picture came from and thetalk was $350 a set, that's about 5x what I'd like to pay. I guess I could make them but if somebody had a set for under $100 I'd probably buy a set.

Not sure how fancy you want them, but I bet they could be made out pipe, with a few holes. A little rednecky, but I may do that myself.

not too worried about that it will be more for function than form.

Yes, you should patent that idea... Although I doubt if you would sell many to guys interested in supporting a $1000 hood about 18" above a several-thousand dollar paint job on a nice car. As I said before, I think there is a reason that they aren't cheaply-made, I don't know how much wind your PVC idea would resist.

i made a set out of electrical conduit (home depot) and pipe connectors with 4 large bolts through the hood pin holes.

Theres a vinyl top on that A12, so I don't see a big deal about putting the hood on the roof. I also think those prop rods are just plain stupid, in my opinion anyways.
