Roll Bar
I have searched all over the internet and other companies that made parts like this for the 1st gen IS, and haven't located anything for the 2nd gen IS
So I take that as a sign that they don't want to make one
unless someone has a link please toss it up

Custom made is always better anyways, but who in their right mind would a roll cage in car that didn't need one. This is not a track car by any means why do all that for a street car, it would look stupid unless it was a car that utilized it.

Now steel and welded yes I could see that concern
Yeah I am starting to notice the 2nd gen IS modifications list is a lot shorter than the 1st gens just by searching etc..

Never put a cage on a street car. I've seen several horror stories of people getting in accidents and smacking their head on them.
Roll cages are for the track, where you wear a helmet.

These things are for asthetics. I certainly won't trust any of them is the case of a roll over. Since they bolt together they don't increase the chassis stiffness either. You paying a lot of money for adding weight and not getting anything out of it.

I know plenty of cars that use these and other "bolt together" crossmembers etc.. that can feel the difference as they track their cars
