I’m looking to get one on Black Friday too! But I’ve kinda been leaning towards the Supreme Power ones after reading about how smooth installation is, and no problems!

I have always wondered about titanium roll bars over steel. Do any factor racecars come with titanium roll cages?

It costs more than DOUBLE than ONE bare front RS wing, or around THREE times cheaper than RS hood. Probably cheapest RS specific part.

Racecars have welded in roll cages, not bolt in roll bars.

NO factory built race cars use titanium roll cages, they only use steel!

Yes I am aware of that. I was really referring to the material used.

Manthey roll cage bar none. Plus it's even almost practical as it gives better access to the rear space.

I want this so badly, good thing I just sold my 3RS so I don't order for Christmas. LOL
Do you make one for a GT4? This would be a fun adder to my GT4 till my next 3RS arrives in the future.

No bolt in roll bar can be certified for use in wheel to wheel competition racing. We use the guides and outlines in the FIA regulations to base the design of all of our bars/cages. There is no governing body to certify a roll bar for a street car. There are only parameters and guidelines to follow when cage building by organizations such as SCCA or NASA (North American examples) on how to build roll cages for wheel-to-wheel club racing. In this case for a street car with a bolt-in unit, you would be receiving the closest thing to that in the form of a minimally invasive, bolt-in roll bar. Every placement of a weld, attachment point or triangulation is designed on those guidelines hence making the bar as elaborate as possible while still being a non-invasive, bolt-in unit.
As an owner of a suspension and race truck development company, I can say that what you guys do is high quality. We use 4130 and 300M where needed (not applicable here) and 1.5" .120 is plenty strong. I would definitely consider your roll cage in the future.
This is our company if anyone is into prerunners and trophy trucks:
