2 sets of SFC on car!!!

Okay, don't tell me it's impossible because I've seen it. Both Alston and GlobalWest. The Alstons are pretty much direct while the GlobalWests go closer to the outside of the car. Do you think this is practical? I've read that the GlobalWests work as a safety tool too since they are directly under the door sill. I think it looks cool and must really give the car a solid feel.

i made mine. they're a duel sq. tube set up, i tied them together with a brace, but each would stand alone too. i figure it's stronger and not much more weight. i did use .083x1x2 for the inner and .120x1 1/2x2 for the outter.
