I know I've seen an aftermarket red roof handle/lashing bar but I can't find it again. Does anyone know who makes the red versions of these?

Some owners have shrink wrapped their bars using vinyl tubing sourced from Amazon, cheap solution and you get to choose the colour (or color).
any links to threads or amazon listings for these?

Well folks, that was a complete fail. The shrink wrap was first of all the wrong color (too bright). Secondly, it did not shrink evenly. wavy lines everywhere. So I put it back together. giving up on this.

I realize this is just a cosmetic change.. but I've spent $100 on lesser pursuits. Changed the silver alum bars out for black bars off Amazon, shipped from China. Took about 30-45 minutes to switch them out. I think it is a real improvement but it is all subjective.

Update.. In the last few weeks I've noticed the color of my bars changing, at first a somewhat blue/purple tint and now an almost bronze color. I went back to Amazon and reviewed the product but I didn't see a way to reach out to the seller. They are in China so I'm doubtful I have any recourse. So now I think I'm, going to either have to paint the bars or get them powder coated.

New Update.. Seller has reached out to me and indicates a different process is now used to color the bars. They have offered to send me a replacement set. Their response to my concern was prompt. I will update this again when the replacement bars arrive.
