So far, so good. However, realistic is NOT a word I would use in relation to the roll bar. Its just a hoop and two diagonals - a decent half cage should also have a "Taxi Bar" (a horizontal bar across the main hoop about half way up), and diagonal reinforcement between the rear stays.
If the drifter twins' 1:1 cars have a cage like that, then I hope for their sake they don't crash, because thats a "show cage" not roll-over protection. In short, those cages are available for riceboys (and similar to what you find in big ol redneck pick up trucks), but thats not a racing roll cage. Add some more bars if you want realism.
