Contact your local race shop and have them made....
Trust me you do not want to be driving around anywhere with Monkley bars if u get in an accident they will severly injur you, go to their site and see how they designed them, they are a death trap, and stricly for show only
Personally, I wouldn't be caught dead (no pun intended) in a car with a "just for show" roll cage. If I'm at a level where I need a roll cage, then I'll have one. It will be a full safety cage, and will provide all the structure needed to make sure that I LIVE if I need it.
I'm also a big fan of 5 point harnesses, and had 5-points both driver and front passenger in my old Chev (In addition to the factory lap/shoulder belts -- The 5-point wasn't very popular with the women, and I was single at the time.
Some concessions were made to comfort. But if I was driving hard AT ALL, I insisted on the 5-points. Just meant that a vast majority of my dates never got to see what the car could really do. Oh well... 
I'd say that especially if you have to get stuff custom-fabricated, go with an actual functional roll cage, or don't bother.
A just-for-show roll cage is definitely pure Uncle Ben's. It's also a serious sacrifice of safety.

i'm not quite understanding why you say that a roll cage is dangerous but whatever- You should make yourself clear so i can actually understand where your coming from. What is the website for Monkey Bars so that i can do some more research for myself
Thanks
Not trying to sound like an as* but i wish i could get a straight forward answer from people that actually own and have the same car as i do. I live in Montana so there isn't a big import scene up here.
