Both Cusco and Okuyama brand roll bars allow full functionality of the soft top. Both of those brands have sub brands produced by the same companies: Safety 21, Carbing and Dash Sports. If you buy any of those brands you wont have any trouble with clearance and functionality of the soft top. Plus no cutting...(other than slits in the carpet).

I believe that the Amuse car uses the Cusco/Safety21 cage because they are affiliated with Cusco.

ok, I swear this topic has probalby 20 threads dedicated to it but let me answer some questions.

Safety21 is produced by Cusco. It is their competition version cage, offered in black and in steel. The cusco branded cage is in blue and is chromolybendum. It is lighter but not race sanctioned (besides D1).

Okuyama is the most respected motorsports supplier in Japan. The quality fo their work is beyond Cusco, but also more expensive. Okuyama has a Dash Sports brand which is comparable to Safety21, it is competition equipment. Then they have the Carbing brand which is similar to Cusco, but much higher quality and much more expensive. The Carbing cages are polished aluminium and super light. I dont know how they are functional in Aluminium, but apparently they are.

6pt and 7pt are the same overall structure but the 7th point is an added bar on the rear of the cage. For cusco/safety the 7th point looks like a mounting point for a camera conencting the two rear hoops. For Okuyama/carbing the 7th point is a diagnal bar reinforcement on the rear which in AMerica will protect your passenger but not you.

Both require no significant cutting. There are plenty of other cages that require you hack up your stock hoops and your panels to fit. These do not require you to cut up your car or remove stock parts.
