You gotta understand:

The purpose of the cage is to keep the panty-free, screaming brodies out of the DriftMobile.
If you've never tried to drift with like 5 sets of hands all over your bawdy, you wouldn't get it.

its actually not BN believe it or not. BN looks cool but literally every FC out there has it and i wanted to do something a little different for this car. ive always loved the way URAS type 4 looked so i contacted some people and had a full kit shipped over from Japan.

nice! I had an authentic BN kit from japan for my rx8. didn't have the ***** to mount it and it sat around for a year before I sold it. one cone at the right angle and its toast pretty much. for the 7 im gonna run replica **** so its no big deal if it gets smashed up.
