The quality of that cage is fine. But it doesn't conform to many rules.
What rules does it not follow? Piping to small? The fact it's bolt-in? Because it's blue? ~_~
Do you know where/who I would have to contact to get a hold of the roll cage rule book? Beside the people on this forum I wouldn't know where to start.
Also those were pictures of a 6 point, they also make an 8 point that has more bars in the back. You can also get addtional bars that go from the bottom of the A-pillar around the floor to the middle of the B-pillar (basically across where you sit). There's also some others I know I'm forgetting.
I think what you're saying is that the roll cage rules are so confusing even if I got some other cage it may or may not be approved. If that's the case the fact that this is bolt-in is even more appealing ... just take out a few bolts if someone complains and voila no cage to complain about.

My opinion is, as deliverd, that cage is mostly for the ricer crowd to impress people on the street with the fact that they have a cage in their car. It adds very little to the car in safety.
Most people have said that the Cusco cage is the opposite. It provides roll over protection but little in the way of chassis stiffness. Which as I'm sure you're aware is a fringe benefit of having a cage.
It is FIA approved, so it's gotta be good for something. Too bad FIA approval means nothing in the US
