If you want a track car:
A. Just buy the trim level with the best engine/transmission package.
B. Gut all the crap that the factory will try to package in with the up-level motor (even assuming there's going to be multiple options).
C. Replace all the good (but still cost/comfort compromised) factory suspension, wheels, tires, brakes, seats etc... with reputable aftermarket parts.
D. Add in any suitable safety equipment keeping in mind that roll cages can do more harm than good sometimes if you're not wearing a helmet.
E. Pose at the nearest ricer hangout with your hardcore never-tracked 'track' car.
Just (mostly) kidding on the last one. But everybody knows it's going to happen to more than a few of these cars...

I know few of em. They never raced w their car, but they have role cage.
Anyways, answer to the Toyota/Lexus role cage then yes, they have several Toyota place (in Yokohama JAPAN) that can install TRD role cage for your cars. iirc even Super GT uses TRD role cage in their IS's (example: Wedsport's IS250). BUT like you said, it's ridiculously expensive!!!!!!
