Man i swear FFX police are so F*CKING ANAL.
exactly, i've seen many miatas driving around with cages, and even more various cars with rollbars, which come factory on some cars i.e. Audi TT.

but a standard rollcage doesn't obstruct your vision, so i don't see what the deal is, i believe it could be easily argued in court.

Well if you get pulled over, what can you say?? Does you dad know what we could say to make the cop say "Oh... well i'll write you up for your exhaust instead.." hahaha

A long time ago, I actually founf the code that concerns Roll bars... I think I found it on the SEMA site. Unless the officer can find a specific law that pertains to a rollbar being illegal, there is nothing he can do. AND, there is nothing in the rule book for VA safety inspection regarding it, so they can't fail you for it. I've been running rollbars in my cars for 7 years now. Not a single ticket for it, not a single cop has ever said anything about it. The only roll bars I can see someone catching shit over is one of those stupid "monkey barz" setups... Those don't even bolt in!!! They just sit there!!!
