Until someone else sees the discussion in this thread, and makes another thread with intentions of being the "roll bar sticky thread" but doesn't put any actual information in it.

Am I using the wrong terminology for the application? Never owned a convertible before, I'm quite sure they're still called roll bars.
The internet is full of stupid and dated information. I'm looking for the currently available options. I'm sure there are tonnes of retards out there saying their OBX bar has been working perfectly fine for years in their stock automagic miata that's never been over 100 km/h.
There is a reason I posted on this forum and not another popular Miata forum. Maybe all of the internet has now gone to ****.
Just because I want to know all the options, that does not mean I am going to consider all those options. I am going to weed out the garbage after I know what's on the market.
I'm going to now ignore the asshats and carry on. Go increase your post count somewhere else. Maybe go outside, practise talking to people in real life, get some sunlight. You could probably use the vitamin D.
Hard Dog was the brand I was trying to remember, last I looked into this I believe they were amongst the most used. I'm just going to compile a list for now. AutoPower seems to still manufacture a few options. Are there any other proper cage companies that make bolt in Miata roll bars?
List:
-Autopower
-Hard Dog
-Blackbird
-Boss Frog (Who manufactures them? Can't find official website.)
Added some clarification in first post. I run a factory hard top. Bar must also accommodate a harness bar or preferably have a built in a harness bar.

Looked and searched quite a bit for a high quality bar to use on track that had the harness bar at the proper height per HMS Schroth recommendations, as well as being tall enough and far enough back unlike some other bars.
I am very happy with my Blackbird Fabworx GT3 roll bar I recently installed. I appreciate the guy that makes them is a racer and don't mind helping him race a bit more.
Granted its pricy, but got the color I wanted, fit and finish are fantastic. Mounting instructions are good and hardware is first rate. Stock belts bind a bit but not to bad.

Her name was Moti, she was a racer
With pretty rollbars in her hair and a schroth harness down in there
She would build bars and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a podium star
Emilio always tended bar
Across the crowded racetrack from afar
They worked from eight til four
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?

OP, you want a Blackbird rollbar. You also want to internalize this fundamental truth: This forum expects and demands that new members educate themselves on common topics in order to maintain the signal-to-noise ratio that this community is known for.
