Who knows! I love to mod. It’s my weakness! I do have a question, cage or no cage? I love cages in my car. That said, I’m a little less likely to mod this car.

Is ir possible to get a clubsport cage into the US? If not what is the cage of choice these days?

Cages look cool but the extra weight and rattles aren't worth it if you don't plan on installing harnesses/tracking the car.

Cage all the way. Very hard to get clubsport bar now and if someone does have it is $$$$$$. I literally just sold a 2nd back half I had acquired.

I'm going to Install my front half as well. If installed correctly it does not rattle. I have zero noise issues in my car from the clubsport. If you get one pm me and I'll give you some install tips.

I'll give it some more thought. It will not be tracked regularly at all. Once or twice a year. Would prefer the originality of the Porsche cage for obvious reasons..

I purchased my car with a half cage that a prior owner installed custom painted Rivera blue to match the CXX color Riveria accents on the wheels, wing, lip, mirrors, etc. It also had a yellow fire extinguisher installed under the front seat to match the door pulls and belts. I took out the fire extinguisher and left the cage. It makes a squeaks occasionally, no rattles, but I think that's just part of the charm of the car. It looks awesome. Like you, I don't plan on tracking the car (I have spec miatas for that).
