These kit only cover the rear part of the car. So won't effect your headroom

To me, it looks like it is a roll BAR and not a CAGE.
Is it a roll bar or is it a cage?

Ouch, sure puts the Kirk bar to shame. Looks awesome, though.

Does it restrict your access to the rear bins? Cause I keep my fire extinguisher in there for the moment and I don't want anything to block quick access to it.

im guessing since cusco is japanese it was made for the right hand drive version, thus cross bar goes the other way.

Cusco normally sells it as a multi-point front/rear kit. Guess you can get the rear only if people don't want to go full out.

Hmmm, that doesn't seem as "hearty" as some of the other roll bars available (not my car in the following pic):

yes, exactly right on that.

$700 is way overpriced for just a cusco roll bar, you can get a 6 point cage for less than $750 shipped..>>> http://www.machiii.net/suspension/cusco/cusco_1.html
