a sun roof model is 2-3 inchs shorter on the loop over the top
most lads cut the cage, but it safer with no sun roof bud
but your gona find it hard to get a sun roof model

Just whip the sunroof out, replace it with a sheet of thickish alminimum, rivet it down, then get a panal beater to isopan it & spray (or do it yourself) Job oxo! then just get a normal cage for a 180sx without a sunroof and it will fit perfect.

because the motor on the sunroof model makes the height inside 2 inchs smaller hence for a different cage. But if you want to keep the sunroof well you gotta get a custom cage made of search for a bolt it cage for a sunroof model..

you need a normal cage from a none sunroof car so
