Default Any one has a picture/recommendation for a roll bar (or roll cage) installed.

I would like to see what are the options.

Also I am wondering if there would be a "non invasive option" (kinda stealth one?)

Thanks a lot,

Default I would think that a stealthy bar/cage would either be insanely expensive

because it would have to be made out of an exotic material (because it would be smaller or hidden somehow) or would be ineffective in a rollover. If you're going to get a cage, that's pretty much committing to spend a good amount of time in the car at the track, which pretty much precludes using it as a decent daily driver.

If you find some pictures of cage/bar options, please post them, though. My car may end up as a track ***** in its elder years.

Default I am already using it less and less as a daily driver

I guess I am just wondering if there could be a solution that would allow me to still use the rear seats "occasionally".

I guess it would have to be custom made with a fancy material...

Still curious to know what is out there

Default Very cool, it looks like it would be "almost" possible to use the rear seats

except that in case of a front impact, the passengers may hurt themselves on the bar.

Maybe with some coating....
