Default Roll bar/cage interest?

Hi there. I've been looking into getting a cage for my car but haven't really found anything I like thats out there. I contacted a friend of mine who builds off-road race trucks for a living and he is very interested in producing a roll cage/bar for our cars. My question is what is everyone else interested in, a cage or just a bar? Also what price range would you expect to pay for something like this? One last question, I believe I've read in the past that the 00-01's have a different fittament for roll bars then the 02-03's. Is this true? Please post interest in what you would like to see made so I can bring it back to my friend.

I installed a bitterbar that was off DavePKs car ('00 or '01) onto my '02. I worked with Aaron Bitterman (over the phone in the rain) to take measurements and compare the pre-'02 figs to the '00-01. The convertible top support bars are in different places, but the '02+ cars actually have more clearance (for the Bitterbar at least), than the earlier models.

But A) there's not much of a market for this and B) it's a pain in the ass to get bars to fit without gutting the interior and making the car very street-unfriendly. There's another bar out now (do a search) that is supposed to be SCCA legal that doesn't require too much interior surgery.
