The Miata is a convertible and the first two generations of the car 90-05 didn’t have any roll over protection from the factory. Even though Miatas have a low center of gravity and are unlikely to roll, accidents happen from time to time, and can be fatal. Adding a sporty, aggressive look to your Miata, it is also strong enough to withstand a car’s roll over. A roll bar on the other hand does great both aesthetically and in terms of functionality. Usually bolted only at the top of the seat belt tower, a style bar in most cases will break off at the points of attachment or bend under much force. A style bar, is simply a bar that does more in the aesthetics department, and does nothing in terms of offering protection. Are style bars and roll bars the same? Nope. Simply put, a roll bar is a metal bar that runs up the sides and across the top of a vehicle, and lends strength and support to the frame while protecting the occupants in case the car rolls over.
