Yep, 'cuz that's exactly what I said.

If you're planning on seriously tracking the car, then you should get a real cage that will likely require removing the soft top and installing a hardtop. And it will probably be ugly as sin (though you can paint up anything to make it look purdy).

If you're not tracking the car, then the stock rollover protection is likely sufficient, and as mentioned already, it's less likely to inflict more damage than it prevents.

All I'll say is that if you're truly concerned with the functionality of your roll cage as a safety device... you probably won't be buying one with "looks" and "ability to use the soft top" as your two primary criteria.

That is exactly what might happen. Some chick on a cell phone rear ends your car at a traffic light at 25 mph. Instead of getting out of the car to get her insurance, you are sent to the ER and will remain in persistent vegetative state for the rest of your life. Or at least until your parents are forced to pull the plug on you. Really cool eh?

plus I think they look gay as hell, a rear roll bar makes sense since it goes up higher than the stock hoops, but a 6pt cage on a street car is like a touring car wing on a accord, R I C E

umm, no offense but your pictures shows you autoXing not tracking a car. Also, your car looks lowered so you should not be running in AS, you car would actually be in BSP.


Putting a cage in a street car, especially a cage that would not pass tech with any decent sanctioning body (like SCCA or NASA) is well... lets just say that folks who really do track their car know exactly what they are looking at when they see this. But at least you have been to an AutoX which is more than most sports cars owners can claim.
