It's been discussed a few times.

Try searching for rollcage or rollbar in the vert forum.

Here's a product that was developed for us:

Take your car to a shop and get one done.

So your saying it does fit the soft top? If so, can this rollbar be purchased online, or is it going to need to be specially made? and if so what should i expect to pay for that kind of work. but i have been searhing my A** off trying to find a rollcage or harness bar that comes premade and will fit the vert.
Yes, mine did fit with the soft top. If you look at the pictures on the first page of this post, you will see the cages I built in both convertibles. Since I am 6'4", I needed a much higher cage and I had to do a little more grinding on my softtop frame to get it to fit. It still fit fine though and operated fine. The other vert was for my friend who is over a foot shorter than me and his top closed without any modifications since I was able to make his cage shorter. FRSPORT made a roll bar for the vert, but it welds to the rear box between the rear strut towers. It isn't the safest spot in my opinion. If you are looking to be able to pass tech at a few drifing events, then the FRsport roll bar should suffice. If you want to get a full cage for the vert, it has to be custom.

NOPE, haven't even touched the top since April. I haven't had the motivation or the time. I just need to sand it down again and bondo it to smooth it out. I still haven't decided on the back window look either. hopefully soon I will try to finish it.

You and Zach have my permission to finish before me. Make sure you post pictures.

Haha, I have been in touch with a fabricator about making an aluminum top. I may give a crack at the fiberglass one though if I get bored, but I don't see that happening.

^^I'd like to see it too. I'm contemplating on how to make my top-less vert more weather friendly... What is the weight of this thing?

Nice work btw...

I'm not a fan of no windows. I'm curious too to see what he did.
