Gotta just love the flamage about CUSCO. Obviously not many educated ppl here who know the reputation of Cusco and who they are over in Japan lol.
Wonder what grade bolts cusco supplies...probably grade 8 the strongest made. Doubt the tube thickness is weak sauce either.
The air bags would deploy in a collision or roll over and protect way before your head would smack the bars
This thread is entertaining lol.

also, you're counting on airbags to deploy through the bars, around them, and...yeah that just got too dumb to even parse
japanese part companies build a reputation via racing for one main reason: to sell expensive crap to underinformed, overly rich japanese 16~28 year olds to put on their tacky cars. the simple fact that now and then they make a line of truly useful, well-made parts is simply beside the point. this cage is cusco's version of the apc tails.
let's all keep in mind that cusco is the same company that puts out a OMFG SO HIGH QUALITY USEFUL rear tie bar to mount the oem 06+sti rear "diffuser" on 04/05 sti's, and wrx's of all kinds. the bar does nothing worthwhile, nor does the diffuser, but it's made quite well. does it make any sense to buy? nope. is it marketed to folks with too much money and automotive adhd? damn straight.

Heres your "dead weight" cusco roll bar after a 70+ foot fall off the road. It looks like the bar is the only part of the car that held up. Notice how none of the bars broke off and hit him in the head, I would say that works pretty darn good for a "show purpose" roll bar. I know welded bars are better, but you guys really underestimate the cusco/safty21 bars. Im not saying if he was to get into a crash with his G35 the outcome would be the same but you get my point.

That car is running a Cusco Roll bar not a full cage as in the G35. So yes the occupants in the G would be more at risk to be impaled on the bars or at the very least hit their head on it causing more injuries.
God forbid a curtain airbag deploys and shears one of the bars off into your head.
