on the driverside, those bars are tact brace bars, not permanent, i have a 3 gauge pod thas getting molded into the cage.

as for the bars shoootin threw the roof, the reason behind it is because of reinforcement, safety and of course show( when its done). the main reason is

this car was never meant to have its roof missing, the pillars in the windshield arent the sturdiest, what would happen if i roll this motherfucker. i would be crushed alive. i dont wanna risk, hitting a big bump or rear ending some one, and the dash collapses and smashes my knees. mostly everyone ive talked that has done the top, the car had flexed and settled by more than 1/4 of a inch. which is alot. we lasered mine after the top was cut. it didnt flex. we got 2 200 lb dudes to jump in the car and bounce it, it didnt flex. so obviously, its there for a purpose.

the supra guys run 10 point cages all the time. takes a lil away from the targa look, but i think it adds a subtle race look. i like it.

maybe if i didnt plan on make 110-115mph quarter mile passes, and i didnt have plans of driving it all the time. maybe i would have went with a 6 point cage and let door ajar light come on every time i hit a bump in the road.( inside joke )

thanks
