Default What roll cage have i got? STI?

I was going through the folder of history that came with my car. I found this paperwork for the roll cage on STI headed paper;


the same headed paper as a genuine STI Splitter.


Also found the paper work for the genuine Impreza Power Converter, anyone else got one of these in the rear of there car?


When i got this Type r v3 as a fresh import with 1 owner, apart from the cage it was 100% standard, which is weird. Did STI ever offer a roll cage, iv never heard of it ??

Looks that way to me, wether it was actually manufactured by them I dont know but it certainly looks as though its one they would supply with car if requested by the buyer.

^ Not sure, i have these too;



This looks like more of a fitting guide to me so would have thought it was done after production.
Still a rare bit of kit tho.

It's a genuine STI roll cage (possibly made for them by cusco) we have seen only one before so in the UK they are very rare.
