Side intrusion bars are one of the points raised as far as Jap import cars are concerned. (they don't have them)This is one of the many 'issues' that the RTA use to make registration of non-commercial vehicles, very difficult. They are termed grey imports and they are also one of the main reasons for the Dept of Infrastructures decisions on vehicle imports.....a bit of back lash on poor decisions (in-decisions) in the past.
