sooo i really cant decide on the two, the styling bar looks really good i think but it wont be enough for track use...but a roll cage just doesn't look right in a vert...there out of place looking they don't go with the lines of the car! if anyone has pics of a cage in a vert post them up!!

I honestly think a 4-point cage looks very aggressive in a vert. AND its functional [Wink] [patriot]

Roll bar FTMFW!!!
Looks bad ass and it actually is function. Great chasis stiffener, and would help in a roll over
Style bars look good. But offer no function

I have a Saleen Speedster imo it wouldn't look right with a cage...I prefer the styling over the cage in my vert. I never race my vert so looks over function.

Cage. Reenforced structure and safety should you wreck or manage to flip your car.

]Looks good, but all that color matching is a little too much for my taste. The Blue convertible terminator that AED built had a nice looking roll cage that ran nice with the lines of the car. I cant find a picture it though.

I always liked the look of the styling bar. But maybe you can try to find a roll bar that looks similar to one? I was looking at some before

4-point cage looks terrible, but so does a styling bar

Do a matte-black finish of the 6/8 point cage like cobra408 posted up - it'd look great w/ any color/finish

And for God's sake - don't color match it to the car

No problem man [patriot] mine is a
6pt with removable swing outs. Makes it easy to get in and out when I don't have them on the car. Is the pic te one with drew's truck ? I Love that pic. Or is It the one of just my car in front .?
