Default These door bar kits legal?

wondering if any of these options are not going to allow my cage to be certified. Basic info is I'm tall, and I get tired of climbing in and out of a jungle gym to get in and out of my car. Car is street driven, but if they are going to not allow me into a track or get booted, forget it.

this is my first choice:

Heres another one, that mentions a rule:

this style doesn't really float my boat feeling safe wise:

I've seen the first on used plenty of times and the cages got certified so I'll say they are legal.

The Chassis engineering one is the same as the 2nd one except that you weld the middle as well as the perimiter, I don't see how you can think it's any less safe than the older style one (#2).

The weight of the first one must be more than double that of the other two.

Yea, they are very similar, must just be my thinking. The extra weight isn't an option concerning #1

ART makes the nice stuff, I only use that style. The other ones look weak in comparison.
