   Roll cage is pointless , if you crash it'll still crumple like a beer can lol, tho if your only using it for cosmetic....

   the point of the cage is to keep the car from crushing itself if you tip/roll it. Ok it wont fare much better but you stand a far better chance of surviving!

    dude
    a cage will not crumple the car will into the cage but to bend a cage takes a huge amount of force
    
    a show cage is pointless though
