The thing about those Miata roll bars is that they are just decrative,
they provide no additional safety in a roll over. My boss has one in his
Miata.
Also, because the shelf behind the seats is up high, they can more
easily put the double hump in. I would think trying to put something
like that in a B would just cause lots of problems with accessing the
battery, getting the seats all the way back and probably getting the top
down.
