ISF has more reinforcements and no hole means all aluminum roof which you can verify with a magnet. That said, I think those are fine...

Thanks all!

True and FALSE. ADDING F-Sport Anti-sway bars increases the torsional load on the body and likely increases the risk the body stress inducing panel damage to the roof.

I would lay odds that rough terrain + sun roof + low rider + bottoming out suspension + increased anti-sway bar stiffness is a winning combination for panel damage brace or no brace.
