This is a very nice build! I recommend a roll cage, if you take the Touge and Track Days serious.

Do you mean roll bar, not roll cage? A roll cage is not recommended for a street driven car. A roll cage is a liability on the street without the use of a helmet and hans because your head can contact different sections of a roll cage.

The GTS model roll cage looks good, ready to buy.

There are a few well designed roll bars for the f8x. The oem GTS is one of them but it’s expensive. Fall Line and JP Marketing offer excellent roll bars. I prefer to use custom built roll bars that have reinforced mounting locations and are welded in, not bolted.

Thank you for recommend.

In Japan I would probably go with a bolt-on roll cage because of the scrutiny involved.
