Default Roll bar or styling bar?

cant decide between a roll bar or a styling bar...I have a 2.2 kenne bell on the way for my 92 lx vert, i like the look of the styling bar, and the fact it takes up less room than a 4 point roll bar, but now im thinkin safety...which way should i go?

I would go with the rollbar too, that styling bar isn't going to help if your car flips.

if ur gonna get a bar and a s/c get a roll bar. why have something that doesnt do n e thing for your car? my buddy had the kenny brown super street cage on his 92 gt vert and it looked sick.
and its like $500 plus there was no problems getting in or out of the car due to the low bars near the door

those light bars are hidious!!! get a 6 point roll bar. verts need a full cage at slower track times then a hard top......nhra rules. nhra says if you run 13.99 in a vert you need a roll bar. and thats damn slow. a stock vert with a kb will run that easily. hell, a bone stock mustang can run that so get the bar if you plan to run at the track at all

it all depends on if you want your car to look good while its rolling over or you want it to save your butt.
