Not sure how I feel about the Titan Motorsports Roll Bar.

The cell seems a little open, but that is subjective. The description seems to focus a lot on comfort and non-intrusiveness, which is a little different than what I'm used to for roll cages.

But what stood out most and gave pause was the bolting points. It looks to only bolt in 4 places, two of which being OEM front seat belt point, two being the child seat belt point. I question if the front seat belt bolt point is suitable. Child seat anchors are definitely not suitable, and even if it bolts to the body cross bar underneath, I'm not sure how strong that part of the car is when loaded in a rollover. Most other roll cages drill extra bolt holes into the chassis with reinforcing plates. For rear mounting, they bolt to the floor beam behind/under the rear seats

This roll bar situation gives me the same tow hook vibes. Very few aftermarket tow hooks are rated for actually recovering cars; this bar is supposed to save you.
